going through deep water and sucking it up the air intake!

Then as the piston rises, it cant compress the water (Hydrolocks), so something has to give... and the rod bends!

Timing, mainly.  

And hydraulicking, if it sucks up water...

Could it be caused by igniting fuel prematurely while the piston is still rising?

I was thinking on a more physical interaction type thing where the timing belt slipped a tooth or three and valves and pistons were shoving tongues down each others throats.....    :D
