Original Note:
Catastrophic flood-related engine damage is typically caused by water being sucked into the engine, which causes the engine to lock up (mechanics call it an ‘air lock’) and can in turn damage important engine components such as piston connecting rods and valves. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/road-safety/driving-in-heavy-rain/#:~:text=Catastrophic%20flood%2Drelated%20engine%20damage,piston%20connecting%20rods%20and%20valves.
