Icon2 my car sucked in some water..

hey my accord went into a big puddle the other day and it sucked in some water from the intake. now i guess most of the water is out. now the car makes a weird clicking noise from the engine *click click click click click click etc..* once the car is started. also the more it revs the more louder it gets. what should i check?

Drain the oil out, fill it back up with 20w50, if the noise goes away, you've got a rod knock.
