Why does the headers being missing have anything to do with water being in there? Was there not a hood on the car?

The plan is to pull the plugs , put it on an engine stand a flit that B*tch... Add a little WD40 ... I think the only cylinders i may need to take a look at are the ones with the valves open.....

I had an family member restart an old, busted 3400 series Sunfire that had siezed up from oil starvation by pouring a capful of ATF in each cylinder.
