Take out the spark plugs, and check there condition. Next stick a tube connected to a syphin into each spark plug hole, and see if you have any remaining water in the cylinder head. Hopefully, you didn't screw anything up. HTH

Z Lancer, true, but the oil would not be clear, if mixed with antifreeze, ie...broken block, then the oil would be like vomit. He thankfully sucked a small amount of water vapors causing the stall. He was real lucky as I have seen piston damage without the block breaking in a Mits eclipse, and piston breaking putting a whole completely through the block thus losing all oil/ antifreeze in the engine. He is obviously a novice as he repeatedly try to restart the engine. Seriously, if you have experience with auto mechanics, and you were in his situation would you have tryed numerious restarts. Maybe I have been doing this too long and seen way too much. Just 16 years of owning my own shop as experience, but hey what do I know.
