Default hydrolock question

okay, i have a thread in integra, but it's slow right now, and i'm running out of time. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=415431
thats the thread...

anyway, i just got finished draining the oil, and i took off my CAI found a little water all the way up to the TB. dried that out, and i looked at my oil and it looks normal, people said if you see white, you're fucked. but no white... my head looks perfectly normal, but i have yet to remove the spark plugs and crank it. so do you guys have any suggestions or something to say like "don't worry about it, everything looks fine, just do that and you'll be A-OKAY"... thanks guys!

take the plugs out and rotate the motor by hand via the crank bolt if that feels good turn you motor over using the starter motor if that works well do a compression test... if the number are ok put your new plugs back in and you shoud be good to go as long as you have no electrial problems!
GOOD LUCK!

if you are going to crank it (which is fine, i think!) take the injection fuse off and the spark plugs out and put towels there to absorb it

if you are aksing if your motor is hydrolocked, it's probably not. if you find a little water in your intake that wont hurt, you have to get the whole intake fully submerged (or close to fully submerged) in water to be hydrolocked
