I think your engine is salvagable assuming no damage has been done other
than getting water in the oil.
I'll defer to the engine experts to give you the best advice as to how to
proceed from here.
Well, you kinda already answered his question - crank for
a while with plugs out, change oil, get her fired up, and make
sure to get it up to tempreture (to cook out all the moisture),
and run it for some time. Not sure an immeadiate second
oil change is necessary, the heat should cook it all out. But
certainly can't hurt.
if this is the case then some engine cranking with the plugs out and
another oil change might save the engine ?
Yes. And perhaps even another oil and filter change after that.
do you all think the motor is salvageable ???
Yes.
Sorry for your problems, but I think it can be fixed.
