well it depends on the head. if you bent valves and all that in the head it has to be rebuilt so it isnt worth a whole lot. same with the rods...if they got bent from the compression change from the water ther arent worth anything either. I guess all you can do it take stuff apart and see how bad it is. for the long block i wouldnt say more than $700 for what could be the worst with the head and block. good for a hi comp NA rebuild tho.

During a hydro-lock, odds are the head is fine, but the rods and pistons could of been damaged. If it was knocking, then one or more rods are bent more than likely.
