Does a flooded car chassis have any impact?

Flooding the car chassis does have an impact. After a car is submerged in water, the following issues may occur: When the water level rises above the engine's air intake, water can directly enter the cylinders, forming a mixture of air and water. While air can be compressed, water cannot. As a result, when the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress the piston, the connecting rod cannot be compressed and may bend under the force of the water. If the owner turns off the engine at this point and then attempts to restart the car, the immense counterforce can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder wall, posing a risk of the engine block's top bending and potentially breaking. Composition of a car's exhaust system: A car's exhaust system typically consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, flexible connection (bellows), catalytic converter, and muffler.
