Hit high water sucked water in...

I was driving and hit high water and I have a cold air cooler that goes to the bottom, it sucked up some water and killed my engine.

at first I tried to start it and it would slightly turn and stop, I pulled the plugs and I see water in them. So I tried to turn the motor and it turns with ease and no sound and gas was gushing out. If I let it sit to dry out will I be okay?

So I got all the water out the cylinders, put new plugs in, water was milky so changed the oil.

is it normal to have white smoke come out the exhaust after this ordeal

Re: Hit high water sucked water in...

probably have to let it run for a bit to get all the water out of the exhaust
how much smoke are we talking? a little bit? or a subaru kid and his vape pen amount?
