The only way for the water to enter the cylinders is through the intake,
which would have caused hydraulic lock, or through the spark plugs, which
would have had the same result. To get into the crankcase, it couldn't have
gone through the spark plug holes with the plugs in them. It would go to the
cylinders, and when you cranked the motor it would have locked up, possibly
bending a connecting rod. It had to get in through the oil fill or similar.
