well...u could try roll starting again...or put power directly to the starter solenoid(use jumper from batt.)
Or try putting a wrench to the crank, and turn over manually, if it turns over smooth a few times...u prob fine...if it binds at all......well u get the idea

"click click" or "knock knock"? I'd be more worried if it's knocking, not so much clicking. I mean, you may have just messed up an exhaust seal from dipping it in water too fast (it can happen, I've done it before ). I imagine it speeds up with the RPMs; just curious, does the sound get softer, louder, or stay the same under load?

The click click is your starter not turning because its seized up solid. You most definately mangled it bad trying to pull start it.....

I've hydrolocked 3 motors. My 22re is the only motor to survive it
Killed a ford v6, and a chevy v8; didn't fix em, just sold the trucks afterwards for parts. With the 22re in my PU, I just pulled the plugs right after it happened, shot the H2O out, tossed the air filter in the back of the truck, threw the plugs back in, and drove it home; never left any permenent damage, as far as I can tell; that was 10k miles ago!

Now...
toy 22r/re's are some of the toughest engines out there.
I'll also bet that those of you who've sucked enough water in to kill the engine didn't actually hydro-lock it, but ingested enough water to quench the spark plugs, but not enough to fill the cylinders, and probably weren't revving the engine up all that much above idle so it died fairly quickly.
Anyways.
Depending on the situation, it's possible for the engine to survive ingesting water. But if it's a high volume of water... as in it didn't suck anything but water into the cylinder, damage is likely.
your mileage may vary

The noise seemed to come from the middle of the engine, not the top or bottom end. Weird, there is nothing in the middle of an eingine. Well, as it turns out, I had bent two rods, 1 and 6. The noise was generated by the piston skirt hitting the crank. The rods had shortened enough to allow the pistons to come in contact with the crank!
Anyhow, I salvaged two rods and pistons from a parts (donor) motor. I put new bearings, rings and oil pump in the thing and it ran perfectly. I did have the crank checked and polished.
I drove that engine myself for 200,000 miles after the rebuild and then sold it to a friend's father. He's put about 150,000 on it since and it still runs great. The yota mechanics didn't think it would hold up with donor parts!
Good luck to you.
