I would get that thing in a room with a de-humidifier and hope you don't have any water in the cylinders when you start it...water doesn't compress very well..and rusts the cylinder walls when sitting in it.

 

so do u think the water could of passed by the spark plugs...?what damage will be done if there is moisture in the cylinder??

 

I had puddles in all four of my cylinders when I first received my engine. Apparently some fools had it steamcleaned or some such nonsense ... I just dried them out as much as I could with a rag, then set a hairdryer blowing down on them before I pulled out the plugs. No serious damage resulted.

P.S. I had actually pulled the #1 sparkplug before I noticed the puddles... you can imagine how much *I* freaked!
