Default Water in engine....

Is there any way of getting out? I think there isn't alot, I tried starting it once and it starts up but just hesitates (SP?). Turn it off quickly and havent started since. Whats best way to get it out? Someone said I chould just take it to a repair shop and get a engine flush but that would prolly cost alot. Thank you in advance.

Dunno. A friend of mine had the same problem once. Got it towed to repair shop, they did a engine flush and a compression check and everything came up just fine. I am kind of a newbie to all this, seeing this is my first "project car". Still in the learning stages. Any info is well appriciated. and some tips =-P its a 95 Acura Integra GSR

i did the same thing. i sucked up water through my intake a while ago. i took my valve cover off cleaned it up then changed my oil twice and car ran just like it did before. make sure you clean out your intake too and filter.

Once you take your valve cover off isnt there a gasket or something you need to replace? or do you just put it back on like normal?

you only need to replace it if it's really worn or damaged, but you can reuse them. my reccomendation, get a new one from honda, they are $10, and make sure you apply hondabond in all the places you are supposed to.
