when i turn the motor nothing sounds like its grinding or making a bad noise. it was still spitting some mist out when i turned it the last few times.
i turned it until the mist was very minimal or almost nothing and have a fan blowing the engine right now. im going to run out for a bit, grab some new spark plugs and give it another shot in a couple hours, so far the engine doesnt sound bad so i guess thats a good thing.
wish me luck and thank you thus far for everyone whom has helped. ive decided im either gonna get a short ram intake or just find a stock one and put that back on. a CAI isnt worth this hastle

Other than that I wish you the best of luck on this. Getting taken out by standing water is a fear that led me to deny a CAI.

That is how you dry it out according to the link that was provided by one of the contributors. Also, if you want to keep that intake, I suggest you get something like the item below to prevent another potential catastrophe during the rainy season.

you hydro locked it no doubt. like everyone said you will need to take off the intake and get as much of the water out as possible and oil change, assuming you have not bent any valves or rods or smashed a piston. this is no good and the main reason i will never put a cold air intake on my g

Alright guys so got back a couple hours ago, installed the new spark plugs and vroom vroom VROOM she fired up like a champ.
Had white smoke
Come out the tail pipe but not much, took it out for a test drive it looks like it is just evaporating the water that still might be in. I'll report back
In a couple days
To see how she's doing
