It was Flooding truck drove by causing lots of water??????????? What is that? What do you mean? Water ? lots of water Where? Did you go through water because if the front of the car went through water it could suck water up in through the Intake and man thats the worst thing you can do.
Nothing in this world can compress water. If it gets sucked up into the engine it bends rods
Try to tell us what happened

My detailed response is in your other thread.
Oil has NOTHING to do with injested water, or sticking valves. Change the oil 10 times and it won't matter, nor will idling the engine for a day hoping the valves become "unstuck".
You have either a slightly bent rod or hurt rod/crank bearing due to the hydrolocking. To fix it WILL require engine disassembly.
