Hasnt this been discussed before about the viscosity of water being only 5% less than that of oil, or something.

what i cant understand is the fact that there putting cold water into a hot engine, and it dosnt stop?! yet if a car drive thru a puddle the engine screw up almost instantly!

Isn't that due to the fact that water just gets into the electrics and screws it up rather than in the engine?

^^no it normaly makes the pistons seize up...

When it gets into the pistons it stops them due to hydraulic lock, thats why it stops pretty much instantly. Seeing as its going into the crankcase where there oil is designed to be it doesn't lock the engine.

I drove through some standing water @ speed and it needed a new engine because water got into one of the cylinders...NOT covered under warranty either - good job my insurance paid out, cost about 6k IIRC...:eek:
