When you bought it they probably threw some spark plugs in it and sold it to you as is hoping it wouldn't hydrolock your motor.. I'm with the guy above me I would see if you could get your money back..

Inside the cylinder? It seems like the water would have drained past the rings. Check your oil. Unless it was on top the plug like they washed the motor?

this is confusing... metal and water do not mix... if you had just a little water on top of the plug that shouldn't be an issue... dry everything off really well.. if it is under the plug in any way, then get your money back if you can... check the oil and make sure it's only oil in the pan... that's a scarry deal... last thing you want is to put the engine in and it don't run or seize becasue of the water...

i think that you will be fine... as long as you are sure about the water only being on top and not under the plug in the cylinder then it's all good. That's my opinon. and if it's not a lot of water it could be condensation as well...

If its only on top of one spark plug like they washed the motor then I also think you'll be fine.. Just make sure you dry everything off
