Why is my Scion XB engine making noise?
The OEM air intake and filter are designed to prevent this. Water is incompressible and suddenly slows the engine, which bends or breaks the connecting rod in that cylinder. A little bit of water will bend the rod, and enough water will break the rod. If the rod bends, the engine keeps going but may make noise and vibrate.
