I drove thru a small stream that was 14 inchs deep and 3/4 the way thru my engine stoped. I tried to restart my engine but it did not. I pulled it out and tried to start it but acted like the starter was sezied. I purchased a new starter and it did not fix the proplem I am able to turn the fly wheel 3/4 the way then it wont turn any more. I put the starter back on and it started 3/4 the way but completely stoped. I removed the starter again and the fly wheel will move if I push with a screw driver but only 3/4 the way I though maybe I got water in the engine so I removed the spark plugs but did not help. Any one know what can be wrong ( my greandfather said my water pump is leaking

Is there water in the induction, is the air filter wet? If so you may have hydraulically locked the engine and bent a rod.
