might want to pull the dip stick for the oil and see if its way way above normal,
then pull the four spark plugs and find your self some cardboard and scissors, with the scissors cut the cardboard into finger width strips about a foot in length.
you going to need three or four of these.
refill the radiator reservoir tank and wait another hour.
come back when its empty, (do not try to start the motor)
with the spark plugs removed take one of the foot long strips and slide it into the spark plug hole and as far down untill it stops (when it hits the top of the piston) do this in the amount of 10 seconds. and pull the strip back out.
check to see if the strip has water damage to it,
using brown paper cardboard it will be clear as night and day.
if there is water damage to the cardboard strip drop it and grab the next strip and check the next cylinder for water.
after all four cylinders have been checked and there is no water in them, this is good, if you found water in one or more of the cylinders the motor will not start.
