Default Warer in engine

I I went to rausch creek. Tried to cross water in 2wd and got stuck in some pretty deep stuff. Now my engine is ticking at idle. Only when warm. I'm gonna change the oil in the morning. What else should I do?

Pull the plugs and turn it over to ensure the water is gone. Inn also here at RC and have also ingested water in the past

Also, pull your air filter and let it dry out tonight.

if you've already started it then you've already done any damage that'll happen. First step when you get oil in the engine is to change oil, pull plugs and crank over until no more water, put it back together and start it (hopefully), change the oil again as soon as possible and hope no major damage has happened. IF you got a little water in the oil and ran it, it could cause ticking as it has thinned out the oil enough to reduce lubricity, if it's a lot of water you should never try and start it without changing it.
