You have probably bent a connecting rod and lost compression on that cylinder if it was hydrolocked. Water cannot be compressed and therefore the connecting rod bends. A normal wet/dry compression test should be able to determine this followed by removing the cylinder head.

I would think you could ultimately be looking at a bottom end rebuild.
