Prepare yourself for more work than imagined. It probably had a hydro lock.
Dangit... Accidentally caused myself a bunch of work (engine repair)

Full rebuild... Spun bearings and damaged 2 rods with excessive heat.
New crank. 2 (of 4) new rods, new pistons, bearings & seals, bored .10 over but head and block were checked and were good. Rebuilt the fuel pump and injectors. New water pump. All new gaskets & seals. Probably more I can't remember now.
After the rebuild, she was losing coolant. Turned out the head gasket had a defect. Took the head back off and replaced with a factory CAT gasket (the first head gasket was 3rd party) and all is good.
Expensive adventure...

Looks like you didn't have the door on there, which is probably a good thing because it may have been hard to get out in that deep of muck. I'd be interested to know the ballpark of what that repair ended up costing, if you're willing to share.
