Thanks all, I’ll have a look at crank thrusts n bearings. I am a bit surprised at the amount of water also, esp as system was drained long time ago so I can only assume was from condensation. It’s been so rainy for so long, everywheres basically damp if not sealed. There’s no way water can to inside of engine block, was all running fine before I started working on it.

I’ve taken off sump, cleaned up gasket surfaces put back sump lose fitting as was expecting to take off again to repaint. Live got the bloody way n rtn to job a few weeks later. Sump had half a cup of water inside, plus surface rust on underside of crank etc. Am I likely to have ruined the internals? I was thinking magnet in the sump, regular oil change n might just get away with it. Or do I risk damaging engine,oil pump failure etc?
