Tim's right. All those things can go wrong. If the cylinder fills up with liquid, then it won't compress. Liquid doesn't compress, so it will stop the engine during the compression stroke. And if there is sufficient force to turn the engine, stuff will start breaking, probably starting with a connecting rod.
If nothing broke yet, do like flatblack says and take out the spark plugs.

Hydrolic lock is a very bad thing to happen. In the combustion chamber, AIR is compressed (air is a gas and therefore compressable) and then the MIST of fuel is added and then the spark to cause the explostion. If there is a lot of Fuel (a liquid and not compressable) in the combustion chamber this will cause the liquid to act a stopper, causing damage to the engine cylinder head. This is more common of off road vehicles sucking in water through the air intake, causing hydrolic lock. Hydrolic lock can ruin pistion rings, pistons, piston connector rods, crank shafts, connector rods, valves, catalitic converters, gaskets and seals, and the block and head themselves have been know to crack in sever cases. I would take it back to the shop you had the work done and have them deal with it, warranty will cover it, a new engine may be needed.

Gas in it's liquid form is a hyraulic fluid, fluids of any sort can cause hydrolock. oxygen in it's normal state is a "gas" if it were in a liquid state and poured into your engine it too can cause hydrolock. basically any liquid is not compressable and gases are compressable. The most common form of hydrolocking is from water or coolant. IE: driving thru a deep puddle.

its not hydraulic lock dude, it's hydro(meaning water) lock. in my case; I'm hoping it's not water, but gas since my tester said it was misfiring badly before shutdown.

dont panic its only going to flood your sparkplugs depending on how much fuel went in. disconnect the fuel line, take out your sparkplugs, blow them out and reinstall.
I think the mechanic is trying to rip you off because Ive never heard of hydraulic lock

listen,guy.
hyd. lock means,the top of the piston is full of liquid and because of that the piston can't reach the top dead center,because lack of room or space.
remove the spark plug to make room.that's it.
