didnt know where to post this.
when its raining and you drive a lowered car i have experienced, first hand, driving through a flooded area that the ice cold water is more than likely gonna be touching the oil pan and related parts such as exhaust ect.
so my question is how worried some of you are with putting your hot engine into a ice cold "river" and warping part of the motor? drove through a flooded street in my brothers stock e21 and we ended up warping the block. at first impact the car shut off and obviously steam was everywhere. got it started but something was off. moths later we puylled it apart and he had a few bent rods
granted you could just not drive through a bad spot, but sometimes i have been forced to and just wondering if the same could happen to the pan?
