A cubic metre of pure water weighs 1 tonne. Think of the additional weight you have with dirty water. If the water is up to your bonnet you could easily be pushing several tonnes.
I always use low box when wading through water that comes above bumper level.

  i was in low second and although i were pushing lots of water it had no problem till we emerged then it almost stalled then ran on half power for a min or 2. think the wet air filter coused by leaky snorkel makes sense  ;)]

if its running ok now, i'd leave it well alone and learn from your experience!

if you are worried get a compression test done, if you've bent anything like conrods you will have reduced compression
