    Hello I just bought a ford 351 windsor with really low miles on a rebuild. But it was taken out of the car well over two years ago and set in a backyard I have the heads off and the engine rotates easily. When I drained the oil there was about a gallon of water then about for quarts of Slimy brown oil. There doesnt look to be rust on the rotating assembly so I was wondering if I could just hose it down to det all the slimy oil/water/muck off. I really dont want to pull it appart.

    any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks, will
