Yeah well I had the honda dealership give me an estimate. The only thing they told me that was wrong was a bent valve. I know there is still water in the engine and needs to be taken out. I didnt keep trying to start the car when it sucked in water maybe thats why I got lucky. But I need this fixed ASAP because its my daily driver.

man you still have water in the cylinders???
how long has it been in there???
you may end up needing to replace the engine!
generally when you suck up water you dont bend a valve, you bend a rod!

Well Chahonda you were right the honda dealership dont know shit. After taking the engine apart not only do I have a bent valve but a bent rod. At least the rod didnt go through the block. Now i need a damn engine. I guess im going to have to replace the engine and build the old one.

Yeah its a pain in the ass. At least my insurance company declared my car a total loss and now my car is paid off. Something good came out of it.
