08trx400ex

I have an 08 400ex that I discovered yesterday it only has half the compression it should. This is due to me turning it upside down in a pond on accident (dont ask) and water getting in the motor. I cleaned out the carb and stuff and rode it for about 3 hours the next day. Im guessing I did some damage that day. I thought it was my carb and after 2 rebuilds and ordering a new 450r carb, I now know why it was running rich. I am needing some advice on where to even start fixing this issue. I wish I could go back to stock but I am guessing that the sand in there has done some damage and now I am going to need to bore the motor now. I am needing advice on the best kit and price and cam and everything related to doing this so that I can someday ride this thing again. I am open to any and all comments, advice, suggestions and opinions. Please help. I will be doing this rebuild myself. I mostly trail ride with some light track riding mixed in. I do not want to get into the running hot issues or having the biggest fastest quad around. Need something reliable more than anything. Thx ahead of time
