    What kind of "ticking"

      Very fast and very loud sound similar to like a twig stuck in the radiator fan

        How deep, over 12"?? You might have sucked water into your low cold air intake.

          Hey Doug. The water was probably a little less shallow. Is there a chance significant damage can happen from that amount of water?

            pull the plugs and turn it over, then let it sit and dry out (when you get it home). Worst case, you sucked watered into the motor and it water locked and/or bent some rods.

              Pull the sparkplugs and turn what over? I tried pulling the plugs before but couldn't get them out

                Like Txstang said, yeah. Water in the motor can do some shit. Have you tried restarting it? If you did, what happened? If not don't. On the safe side you might want to get it towed home.

                    To be safe just tow it home. He's saying pull all the sparkplugs, then bump the starter a few times might blow out any water sill sitting in the cylender,then let it sit and dry out. If it did some damage, you're screwed.

                          You need a can of "InstaHeal". Pour one can down the intake and it will fix cracked pistons straighten bent rods and solve all mechanical problems.
