If there was any possibility that water went down the stack, remove the exhaust manifold and see if there is a big ball rust around the valves.
[pull the oil drain plug out first and see if there is any waterat the bottom of the pan]. If you find rust around the valves , just pull the head and get her cleaned up. these valves can bend
very easy if they come in contact with a piston.
I've repiared/overhauled many in this condition
and most of the time it seems like its a complete
teardown.
