When water gets into engine does it have a sensor to shut off?

No, but the laws of physics and chemistry essentially force your engine to hydrolock - water does not like to be compressed like the fuel/air mixture in the cylinders, so your engine will seize (stop running).


Would it be noticeable if you put water in someone gas tank?

Yes, it would because it might hydrolock engine and ruin it. You will notice it too, when you get charged with destroying private or government property...


How much water does it take to ruin an enging?

There is no set amount of water that will ruin an engine as it depends on various factors such as how quickly the water enters the engine, the type of engine, and how the engine is operated after exposure to water. However, as a general rule, significant water intake into the engine can lead to hydrolock or corrosion, resulting in engine damage. It is best to avoid water entering the engine altogether to prevent any potential damage.

If you check oil and coolant often for levels and mixing is it inadvisable to run 95 Cavalier with blown head gasket?

Absolutely not. Once the head gasket is blown, you must not run this engine until the engine is repaired. Coolant in the oil will destroy this engine in short order. Coolant in the crankcase or cylinder is also not a good thing to have because it dilutes the oil and accelerates wear. If enough coolant leaks into a cylinder, it may even "hydrolock" the engine preventing it from turning over when you attempt to start it. And in some cases you can do serious engine damage like a bent rod, by even trying to start a hydrolocked engine. You may also have a cracked head at this time. Until you can fix this engine, drain all the oil and coolant out and park it. DO NOT START THIS ENGINE.
