How long is the lifespan of an engine after water ingress repair?

[DeIker]

After repair, the lifespan is only about 60-70% of the original. The engine is a relatively precise machine. If water enters during high-speed operation, it can damage the combustion chamber and spark plugs inside. Below is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of engine water ingress: 1. Stalling while driving: Due to water entering the engine filter element, the intake resistance increases and water enters the combustion chamber, preventing the spark plugs from igniting. Water entering the distributor causes it to lose its normal ignition function. 2. Overheating of the breather pipe: In summer, this can damage lubrication, causing overheating, and hot air escapes from the crankcase breather pipe. This indicates that the engine has water ingress. 3. Brake failure: Rain increases air humidity. If water enters the brake fluid, it vaporizes under high temperatures, leading to brake failure or complete loss of function.
