Just kidding of course, just not found in Google. Latest News: Today, completely disassembled the engine and took the Pistons. 1 for replacement. All cylinders had water and even the ground in one! Tomorrow I'll look for a piston change my ring at the same time. The only thing that pleases the motor inside the new one. No wear.
Russian joke??? LOL funny boy!

Try removing the spark plugs before trying to turn the engine. If water got into the cylinders, it will keep the engine from turn very far. You could spray a little light oil into the spark plug holes to control rust. Change the engine oil and drain the carburetor and fuel tank and use fresh gasoline, too. Then change the transmission fluid (oil) and differential lube. Can you tell how how high the water got in the car by looking at stains or rust?

We are home!Finally I took the car home! removed the tank,had put back and went his way! From work to my home about 8 miles drove without adventures. And the next day it turned out that the ignition wire dressed properly. Put everything right and my Corvette turned into a real rocket! Photo'll post later.
