How severe is the impact if water enters the car's air intake?

[WestonMarie]

If water enters the car's air intake, minor cases may cause connecting rod deformation, while severe cases can lead to engine failure. Below is an introduction to automobile engines: 1. Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. 2. History: The first external combustion engine was invented in 1816 by R. Stirling in the UK (Scotland), which was later improved by Watt into the steam engine. 3. Applications: Engines can refer to both power generation devices and entire machines including power units (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (like Stirling engines and steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, and more.
