Re: 1' deep puddle

<x-flowed>I disagree. If he had just slightly bent the connecting rods it would cause 
his compression to fall in one or more cyilinders. Causing it to run rough. 
I have seen this happen with one of my friends rabbit and he drove through a 
puddle that was very deep and he bent the rods and it ran very poorly. but 
it still ran. If he was driving a diesel scirocco (have yet to see one) then 
he could have done so much damage that it wouldnt run at all.
