this depends on wht was damaged. pretty much if engine was flooded,you need to drain all oil from engine.you need to allow all electrical components to completely dry.chane oil and air filters.refill required engine oil level.start engine. it might run a little smoky and ruff for short time while it burns off any moisture remaining. at this time just let it run and see if it clears. if it does you are in good shape. if it doesnt, then you may have a bad electrical component that needs to be found by using a computer at a shop. tr drying out first.mechanics will tell you a drowned motor is no good. they are not right

Why does your overflow pop off from the pressure build up?

Assuming you mean the cooling system overflow. If so: * A worn or damaged coolant cap can cause coolant release long before the engine heats up. * an overfilled cooling system will release coolant when the engine warms. * If an engine overheats, either from low coolant, damaged or plugged radiator or worn out or damaged water pump or thermostat, the heat from the engine will turn remaining coolant to steam, creating quite a bit of pressure. * Once an engine has overheated it is possible that the head or block have been damaged. Damage can be either a warped head or as severe as a cracked head or block. You need to determine WHICH has caused the excessive pressure.
