Starting the engine a second time after water exposure will definitely cause damage to the engine. The following is expanded content: Damage process: During the second start, water will directly enter the cylinder through the intake port. When the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress towards the piston, the water cannot be compressed. The large reaction force will cause the connecting rod to bend, resulting in uneven force distribution on the connecting rod. The function of the engine is: To convert the heat energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. Engine maintenance methods include: Using qualified engine oil; using qualified coolant and antifreeze; regularly cleaning the radiator scale; regularly cleaning engine carbon deposits; regularly replacing the three automotive filters; maintaining a reasonable engine speed.
