Default drowed the jeep

Drowned the jeep yesterday so it still runs but I don't think the back cylinder is fireing and its making a hell of noise not slaping but more like a hole and there's plenty of water coming from the back side of the motor. Im hoping its just a gasket but idk what do you think. What usually happens?

You got the motor under water right? and you restarted it? Did you first pull the plugs and expel any water in the clylinders? you have to also drain the motor oil,and the tranny, front and rear diff's, the t-case, and put in new fluid cause you most likily have water in them.Good luck you'll be lucky if you didn't screw the motor up, and if you drove it with water in anything else like tranny and t-case well just say live and learn.

Yeah I pulled the plugs and turned the motor over yes there is either water or coolant in the oil there's no more coolant in the radiator. I will make sure to check the tranny and t case for water good tip. I don't think any water is in them cause I only got water to the doors but the momentum caused the water to suck in. Idk either way it sucks. How long on a motor swap? From the looks of it. It looks pretty simple.or am I wrong?
