How screwed am I?

At least for the 1st time in 5 years I'm not in the NYC poker run...

My port engine port cylinders are sucking water. My mechanic - without looking at it yet says it's reversion. I sprayed WD40 in all the cylinders and turned it over to get the water out. Still did not fire, water was in it again. I just had the manifolds done less than 5 hours ago, pulled the elbow and saw water, but no leaks.

I have 502 MPIMage with essentially stock (Dennis Moore/GLM) exhaust - I don't know why I would get reversion when the other three are fine.

Maybe you have a blown intake gasket letting in water.....what cyl are getting full? And i would stop trying to crank the engine over till you get this figured out!!! A gasket is easier to fix then a hydrolocked motor with bent rods!!!!!

I see it in all cylinders, but worst is in the two towards the back.
