Will the engine definitely take in water if restarted after stalling in water?

[BryceDella]

Restarting after stalling in water will inevitably cause water intake. Here are the relevant details: Reasons for water intake during restart: Water can enter through the air intake, forming an air-water mixture that reaches the engine cylinders. While air is compressible, water is not. When the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress the piston, the incompressible water causes the connecting rod to bend. If left unrepaired, the bent connecting rod rubbing against the cylinder wall poses a risk of breaking both the engine block and connecting rod. Precautions when a vehicle stalls in water: If your vehicle stalls in water, never attempt to restart the engine. Normally, without restarting, simply draining the engine at a repair shop and replacing components like the air filter is sufficient. However, restarting after stalling risks engine damage, necessitating thorough inspection at a repair facility to assess potential engine damage.
