Bent Rod

[JTapper]

Reminds me of a funny story about a friend of mine, and the guy is a member here.

Drives through puddle, car dies. Calls me, and I tell him NOT to crank it over, but bust out the tools and pull the plugs. Says that the #5 squirted water at him when he loosened it.

Never quite ran 100% for the following days, and I told him I thought it sounds like it's knocking and has a bent rod.

Well, fast-forward around 1,000mi and a month later. and the thing just finally dies on the freeway.

I found a fist-size hole in the block when the tow truck dropped it off in my driveway.

Story?

Also, piston to valve contact will not bend a rod.

Detonation (lean condition) or water.

What's the backstory?

Piston to valve contact or if there was something in the cylinder would be my guess
