Default 350 V8 penta engine full of water after winter (Won't move)

Thank you for all your help. I would like you to know that I have taken
the pan off, soaked the the cylinders and with some rocking it back and
fourth, I have freed the engine. I can now turn it almost by hand. No
sign of any rust in the cylinders. I am replacing the oil pump and will
put it back together. Any extra advise at this point?


Check the compression and fire it up on the driveway before you make the
effort to re-install it...

But don't waste too much time or you will run out of summer.
