I put a new motor in my bronco II I got a lil water in the intake when washing down the new motor I puled the spaerk plugs and turned the motor over a bunch of times its been sitting for a week or so with no plugs and every so often I turn the motor over. Did I ruin the new motor doing this? Is it worth throwin it in there?

Nope you will be just fine, whatever water you got in there is evaporated out

What Dave said!!
Spray a little oil in the cylinders and just keep turning the engine every once in a while and you will be just fine.

squirted out the plu holes
then th rest drained to the bottom Since I put in a new oil pan I let it sit open for a couple days
Now I know plug all holes before you spray with water and engine degreaser
I did put in all new freeze plugs
Painted the motor and parts looks real nice and clean
painted the firewall all black again
Its lookin real nice
Like a brand new motor
Should have pics up soon!
Still lookin for that solid axle in the front real hard to find!!
