This is one total I would probably not fix. The damage is probably too extensive to fix it at any reasonable price.

OTOH it is a diesel so its possible there is not that much wiring in the area it was burning to damage. I guess I'd take a close look.

The possibility of hydrolock bending a rod is also there, and the post above about removing the glows or injectors and cranking to get water out is a good one. Then if it seems ok put a teaspoon of oil in to keep it from rusting and put the injectors back in.
