Diesel in floods: will it ever go again?

Water got in through air intake, and engine will not now turn at all, even with injectors and glow plugs removed.
Can it be revived?

As previously stated, you will have buckled conrods and twisted crank.

to your previous post was - it driven through flood or was it not running when water entered intake! if it was running then internal damage will have occured also timing belt may have broken or teeth stripped

drain the oil out the sump and try manually turning engine over
