Probably bent the rods. Try removing all the plugs, and cranking the motor. Then let the car sit overnight to dry out.

yeah i did this exact same thing to my '97 EX.

I just took the plugs out and water shot out from all 4 cylinders like 20 feet into the air, after that, changed the oil and plugs and the car cranked up fine. I let it run for like 30 minutes though just to dry out the rest of the water.
