Is it easy to repair a bent connecting rod caused by water in the engine?

[KadenFitz]

Engine water ingress causing a bent connecting rod is repairable. If the bending is within the limit, it can be corrected through repair; if it exceeds the limit, it is recommended to replace the connecting rod. Below are the relevant details: Waterlogged roads: When a vehicle drives on waterlogged roads, the engine may suck water into the cylinders. Under the high temperature of the cylinder block, the water quickly forms steam, preventing the cylinder from forming a combustible mixture. This reduces the effective volume of the combustion chamber, increases compression resistance, and amplifies the pressure transmitted from the piston to the connecting rod. Over time, this can lead to bending or even breaking of the engine connecting rod. Continuous fuel injection: Continuous fuel injection from one of the engine's injectors can cause difficulties in starting the car, idle shaking, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and reduced power, which in turn affects the bending of the connecting rod.
