my car is Toyota Hiace 2010, engine D4D, the problem is while I was driving there was small pool of water on the road and the car sucks the water through the intake manifold and engine stalls. I loosen the glow plug and cranked the engine, the water goes out from the combustion chamber and then I tighten the glow plug and started the engine. the engine started but vibrates and excessive smokes through the exhaust manifold.

This is bad. Seems you have hydrolocked the engine briefly resulting in at least one or more connecting rods getting bent.

You would need to rebuild the engine with replacement of connecting rods.

I thank you so much.

I just dismantled the cylinder head and come to observe that the two pistons, #3 and #4, don't come to top at all, an indication of connecting rod bent as you said earlier.

I am asking you to give me your opinion on the following
1. shall I change all the connecting rods or only two of them?
2. I was planning to change the piston ring in the mean time, is this a good idea?

once again I really appreciate your help

Have all connecting rods checked/measured and replace as necessary.

It is always good to replace the rings when the pistons have been removed from the cylinder block. Ensure the cylinders do not have excessive wear.
