[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 91327, member: 13117"] I assume you are OK. I hope you did not get too banged up. Any water getting into the engine is always really bad. If the engine was running at a good rpm, the water could have easily bent a connecting rod(s) & the piston skirt of that bent rod(s) can easily keep the crankshaft from rotating as the piston now is jammed against the crankshaft counter weights. Its hard to picture, but with the rod bent, it is now shorter than it should be. If not that serious of damage, than water could have simply interrupted the piston from reaching TDC before the exhaust valve opened. [/QUOTE]
