Message	water damage. i was under a bridge in bumper to bumper traffic when water rose up to about a foot causeing water to get into the engine. i did everything i could and it turns out a rod has been bent from the water not being able to compress. i just found this out from the mechanic and now im waiting on the insurance company. they do cover water damage but im curious on wether hes going to total it or give me money for a new engine. also if he totals it can i buy it back?
