i ran into a problem with my newest ca lastnight i was changing intake manifolds and i noticed a pool of water on the first runner of the secondary manifold (where the buterflys are) so i pulled the spark plugs and every cylinder has water in them (water not coolant) now my one friend says its just condensation but in my opinion theres to much water to just be condensation. is this motor any good now like how much damage can that do it was sitting most of the winter in my garage the motor is not seized any help would be great

thanks mike

If the motor isn't seized you're probably okay.Worst case is the rings/walls rusted and you won't hold compression.

If it DOES hold compression I don't think you have anything to worry about.
