Is a Flooded Engine After Overhaul the Same as a New Engine?

[HaleyLynn]

An engine after being overhauled due to water ingress is not the same as a new engine; it is a repaired component and its value will decrease. Introduction to Engines: An engine is the device that provides power to a vehicle, serving as the heart of the car, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids, among others. Engine Working Principle: A four-stroke gasoline engine mixes air and gasoline in a certain proportion to form a good combustible mixture, which is drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke. The mixture is compressed, ignited, and burned to generate thermal energy. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas acts on the top of the piston, driving the piston to perform reciprocating linear motion, thereby outputting mechanical energy through the connecting rod and crankshaft flywheel mechanism. A four-stroke gasoline engine completes a working cycle during the intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke.
