Shop is saying '99 5.4 is hydro-locked after blown spark plug

[Yudaman]

How in the hell can you hydrolock a cylinder with a missing spark plug???
Think about it. Hydro (hydraulic) lock (locked up, bound solid). If the cylinder blew a plug, there is no possible way for it to hydraulically lock. After all, there is a HOLE for the gas or oil to escape.
That mechanic is a thief and you need get your s**t out of there immediately!

This is something so typical of new members.
The op made his post and hasn't been back to the thread since his original post on 2/3/15 8 days ago.
Yet he was last on the forum yesterday.
