Well here's what happened, I kept the CAI on because I was going to use it for intercooler piping for my turbo kit...
So I manage to start the car and its riding really rough so I drive it real slow for about 10 miles to the shop.
I remove the spark plug cover and the plugs...no water...take out the TB practically any water, so I just got an oil change and have driven the car...no problem.
I did a compression test...
Cylinder 1,2, and 3 were at around 230, cylinder 4 was at 180....is that need to worry?

Also, at first I was hearing a loud clicking sound...really LOUD, like valves tapping, but it has died down...what could that be?

Someone told me I might have some bent-rods, but wouldn't my car run like garbage?

As of right now, I give a very slight tapping sound, and the idle is a little rough, but the car drives fine...anyone know what could be the problem?

I think you can pull the spark plugs and see if there is water in the cylinders.

 

oh man, thats not good... youre probably gonna wanna just go ahead and heat your engine up with a heating gun to boil out the water

naw, but seriously though, you can turn a good engine over by hand. just grab a pully, use a ratchet on a pully nut or whatever... it sounds electric, if you hydro lock an engine its instant... not problems later on occuring

the car cranks, and starts real fast but then turns off...
Do you think I'll be ok?

Help, what do I do!!</TD></TR></TABLE>

take your plugs out and crank the motor, squeeze whatever water is left ....
but if the car starts and then dies out .........do a compression check
the valves seem like the may be damaged...
