Well, I think the motor could've been saved if you got to it early enough, though I'm not sure how long it would take water to damage the engine. You should probably tear it down and give it a good cleaning with something like WD40 to keep anything from rusting. Put it all back together, seal it up, and install it. See how it goes from there. I've heard of engines surviving full submerges in water.

In my case, the air filter fell off of my Jato in a tumble and the car landed upside down in loose dirt (the body was off) and sucked a bunch of dirt into the engine... destroying it in the process =(

A dunking in water, in and of itself, isn't the end of the world...Not drying it out right away could be detrimental, though.
A thorough tear-down and drying out is in order. WD-40 is your best-est friend here.(don't spray energized electronics) Compressor is nice to dry stuff off, but not necessary. Then lube everything back up, put it back together and go hit it again!!!

I once witnessed my buddy driving his tmaxx in snow...no body, no air cleaner....He got some momentum, cranked the wheel, pegged the throttle, and roosted snow right into the carb. He never took the plug out or anything...Just kept cranking, and cranking, and cranking...Eventually it fired up, and spewed nasties from the stinger.[:'(] I've seen him get stuck in a huge, rutted puddle, and drown the engine in stirred up muck, too. He seemed to be plagued with an assortment of problems...Mostly arising from not cleaning up after making a mess.
I made a set of skis for my GT and have a bit of fun in the snow and wet, and I haven't had any problems yet...But I dry it out and try to protect it some.
You don't have to clean your room, clean your plate, or clean up your act....But you NEED to clean your truck![8D]

Did you get water in the tires?

RE: I Had A Very Bad! Day
 

i personaly think that the motor might work as long as you didnt try to start it after that happend. cause there basically like MINI car motors and give it like 3 days to dry out and see if that makes a difference but if you can try to manualy get all the water out. then like the other guy said wd40 the pison and everything else and it should work fine AS long as you didnt try to start it up right after it happend.
