I am sure a lot of you guys who live in the Eastern part of the States were going through some crazy weather as I did.

So, man there were Floods everywhere on main roads to little streets.

I came across a lot of cars being stuck in the floods with their emergency lights on.

I had to cross a big flooded road, and the water was at least a foot deep, and a honda accord was all ready stuck in the water.

Somehow my CL made it through, maybe the 20" rims helped me a little.

My question, how much damage are you looking at after the water runs into your exhausts and etc?

 

no water damage into ur exhuast, only a fully submerged intake

 

The damage occurs when water enters the cylinder and on the next compression stroke the engine attempts to squeeze it -- boom -- remember from physics class you cannot compress water. A gasket, valve, head, block....something will give.

 

I remember Ravi mentioning that it happened to him...but did not blow the engine. It was a good freak out though.

 

Sounds like it could run you a lot of $$$$$ to repair!!
