How Long Does It Take to Repair a Water-Damaged Engine?

Repairing a water-damaged engine takes 3-5 hours. Introduction to Engines: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. History of Engines: Engines can refer to both power-generating devices and the entire machine that includes the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). The engine first originated in the UK, so the concept of an engine also comes from English, with its original meaning referring to 'a mechanical device that generates power.'
Last time my car got flooded, it was a real hassle. The repair time for water in the engine is hard to estimate—it mainly depends on the extent of water ingress. Minor issues, like water in the spark plug area, just require cleaning and drying, which takes about two to three days. But if the engine sucked in water, stalled, and was restarted a second time, bending the connecting rods, then it’s really troublesome. The entire engine has to be disassembled for repairs—lucky if it takes a week, but if parts are severely damaged, it could take ten days to half a month. Make sure the mechanic checks every bearing and piston thoroughly, or residual rust will cause bigger headaches later. That time, I had to wait an extra five days due to long repair queues after the typhoon. The repair took way more time than fixing the exterior damage.
