Default Please help. Fixing cherokee

went into fast to fast and engine cut off. wont start. no clicking. just took sparks out. last 3 were wet. the battery works fine. radio, lights,doors, windows etc seems to be working. alternator seems out too since battery is still good after 18 hours off since this happend.

i may have gotten god damn water in the engine

Cool

you might have blown a head gasket, but I'm no mechanic.

you can hope you only popped a head gasket. pull all your plugs and crank the motor and see if it still spins/if water comes out. chances are you hydro-locked it and a piston hit a valve or worse.
