A tragedy has happened 
I passed through what I thought was a small puddle of water. The water got into the motor causing it to get locked. the starter broke and there is a crack on the block right above where the starter sits. 
I think the rods are bent and I don't know what else could be damaged.
what else would you think could be damaged?
what do you recommend to do? try to fix it or get another motor.

again. Best bet is just pull the motor and start with a new one using as much as possible from the old motor. Now is a good time to build the motor or your dreams! Andy
