Default Maintainance for a drowned engine?

I know I'll need to change the oil. I've pulled the plug and flushed the water out of the cylinder. I've taken the airbox drain plug out, drained that, dried the air filter. I do have water in the block so I'll have to change the oil. I also tipped the ATV up and drained the exhaust.

What should I know besides that?

Drain and refill all your fluids. Drain and refill it again until the oil looks good after it's been running. Try putting a little oil in through the spark plug hole since the water may have washed the cylinder. I think a squirt of WD-40 would work, and I don't think it could hurt anything. It needs lube before you start it.

Thanks guys! My first mud hole dunk. I hope it's my last. Being pulled back the 2 miles to the truck by a Honda Recon 250 is very embarrassing!
