What Causes Water to Enter the Engine?

[McJameson]

Water entering the engine can be categorized into two types. The most common scenario is engine submersion, which requires promptly calling for a tow truck to transport the vehicle to a repair shop. The other type is caused by damage to individual components. If not addressed in time, it can easily lead to faults such as cylinder scoring or bearing seizure, and in severe cases, the engine may even be rendered completely inoperable. Below is additional information: Damage to the cylinder liner sealing ring: The sealing ring at the lower part of the cylinder liner is designed to prevent the leakage of engine oil and coolant. However, prolonged exposure to pressure can inevitably cause the sealing ring to deteriorate. Moreover, if the coolant is of poor quality, it may have corrosive effects, leading to leakage into the engine oil.
