Check the bottom of the oil pan for a hole.I did the same thing my first time out and tried starting it and blew the connecting rods through the pan.Had to replace the motor.

there isnt a hole luckily. im just gonna let it sit with the plugs out overnight and tomorrow crack hood during school and try and work on it again around 3
Before you go turning it over with the key,try by hand with a breaker bar first with the plugs out so you can help push the water out of the cylinders.Also take the intake manifold off and put a blowgun to it to dry it up.Good luck.Allmost for got,change the oil a.s.a.p..

alright thank you!!! ill get that done tomorrow. might try and change the oil as well if i can get my dad to pick some up. hopefully i dont have to replace the engine.
If you have a bent rod then the piston probly gouged the cylinder wall and thats not good.Hope everything is ok.
