I lost a motor with a broken connecting rod. I think it may have been from the abuse of submerging the engine in a big puddle. The motor ran after the event, but seemed a bit off and never ran the same after flooding the crank case with water. I'm thinking the connecting rod may have been stressed or cracked during the hydro lock, and broke a few months after idk....just a hunch
