[Shotimes] Flooded engine

[Kirk Doucette]

Believe this or not.... There are people that wash down the head ports to
clean the crap off of them....  Then people wonder why they are eating rod
bearings..  I was to busy to do my cam seals so I had "someone" in my shop
do it for me.. I noticed that the ports were cleaned, which I was extremely
thankful for but I pushed into my working bay and dropped the oil first
thing the next day.. and the oil stunk like berrymans and came out like
water...

How long was it flooded.  Please tell me that you changed the oil before
cranking.
