Will the car engine get water in on rainy days?

[VonLiam]

Here is a detailed introduction about whether the engine will get water in on rainy days: When the vehicle is in a static state: If the vehicle is parked and submerged in water without starting the engine, as long as the water level does not reach the intake port of the engine's air intake system, the engine will not be damaged. When the vehicle is driving through flooded areas: If the water level exceeds half of the tire height, there is a possibility of water entering the engine. This is because when water enters the engine intake port either statically or dynamically, it will flow into the cylinders through the intake port, forming a mixture of air and water. While air can be compressed, water cannot. When the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress towards the piston, the water cannot be compressed, causing the connecting rod to bend under the force of the water. If the engine stalls at this point and attempts are made to restart the car, the immense counterforce can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder block. Once the top of the engine cylinder block bends, there is a risk of it breaking.
