I believe that happens when the water gets into the engine when it is sitting
and the intake is open. Too much water gets in the cylinder with an open intake
valve and when the piston tries to compress it the weakest link breaks. I've
heard of Bernd's way before and as you pour the water in it turns to steam. I
don't think you can pour the water fast enough to fill a cylinder while the
intake valve is open.
