Will the engine take in water if it doesn't stall when driving through deep water?

Driving through deep water without the engine stalling means water will not enter the engine. Here are the relevant details: Water intake: Theoretically, as long as water does not submerge the air intake, it will not affect the engine. However, there are too many unpredictable factors, such as waves caused by passing vehicles that could splash into the air intake, or unknown underwater conditions like potholes, which may affect the vehicle's ability to pass through. Engine: The engine is a fully sealed environment, with the only potential entry points for water being the air intake and exhaust. The exhaust will not take in water while operating, so as long as the air intake is above the water level, no water will enter. If water enters the engine, the vehicle will stall. If the vehicle does not stall, it means no water has entered.
