Doug, How do yu know it messed up the injector tips? Your 'mechanic' again? Until you see them you will not know for sure what condition they are in - unless you get it started and it gives clues. I had no clue that it was a diesel or gas from your post, but now I do it sure sounds like it probably just needed bleeding through with new fuel and filters and probably not much more!! THEN. NOW - it sounds like it neds new filters, bleeding and a starter motor! One cylinder, at least, would still be good as both valves would be closed, when it stood. If the exhaust manifold has a small hole at the lowest point, most water would have run straight out. First I would find a decent mechanic, one that is not quite so proficient at fault-finding without doing anything, other than churning it over on the starter and increasing you bill without good reason. Btw, did he bleed it or at least try to bleed it? If he didn't, then take no notice of anything he said! Did your mechanic tell you it needed a new starter motor? Might be a corroded connection or something minor to repair the present one. If compression was so low it should not have burned up the starter motor very easily unless already faulty, or abused.If the fuel lines were not bled, do you know how to do it? I would recommend, if you don't have one already, that you get an operator manual before you go any further - it will help on trouble shooting, servicing and a host of other issues, especially safety related ones.
