1. kung nasa bumper na ang water malamang inabot na ang crankshaft seal. pinasok na ng water ang oil pan mo. so flushing and change oil ka na.

2. pag below ng cylinder head e malamang naman hindi papasukin ng water ang top ng piston. pero pag mataas na sa cylinder head e need mo check kung may pumasok na water sa taas ng piston. ang danger kasi pag may water sa top ng piston e pag start ay mag-hydraulic lock ang crankshaft, madaming mababali (crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, cylinder head). so it is a must na i-hand crank mo muna ang engine ng mga 2 or more full turns before i-try na i-start ang engine using the starter. usually a 24mm wrench on the crankshaft pulley is used to hand crank the crankshaft. pag may point na ayaw umikot e nag-hydraulic lock na yun, huwag mo na i-start. need mo angatin ang cylinder head para malinisan ang top ng piston.

3. clean all electricals with contact cleaner and dry with a blower kung inabot ng water.

4. change ng transmission oil and differential oil.

5. check mo CV joint boots. pag may punit na boot you'll need to change the boot AND REPACK THE CV JOINT WITH NEW GREASE. mahal ang cv joints so do not run them with water contaminated grease.

6. basa na carpet nyan. pa-interior detailing mo na kasi mabaho ang flood water pag natuyo.

much better and safer na tanggalin ang glow plugs or spark plugs and vacuum the combustion chamber for debris and water.

another is to replace also the brake fluid.

ang air intake pa rin ang basehan sa entry ng water sa engine (assuming all the pipings/hoses are free from leaks of course)

WD40 everything!!!!except for some parts syempre like brake pads, rubber, etc....

Sir tanung ko lang din may mga montero owners din po ba dito na naapektuhan ng baha? after flood and repairs may lumabas pbang issue?coz mine nakabili ng 2nd hand but accidentaly flooded pala ang linis kse pag kakagawa after ko lang palinis yung aircon ko sa aircon shop ska ko lang nalaman...pero so far wala naman prob all working all instrumental ok lahat smooth shifting...

To add one other thing. I would flush to engine with a quality engine flush after draining all fluids in the sump. If a petrol engine remove spark plugs and spray a quality anti rust briefly into each cylinder. Use a new filter with the engine flush and hand turn the engine VERY slowly to allow the anti rust spray to loosen any particles. If a diesel engine, short of removing the injectors and spraying as for petrol engine I would hand crank the engine slowly to free up the pistons and rings.

It depends on how long after flooding the above is being done. It must be done as soon as possible.

I hope this also helps.
