you all know I'm working on restoring this 1978 reinell w/twin omc185's, well finally got everything working and replaced that I found that was bad, started the motors up, and everything works great, oil pressures are up, not getting hot or anything, after 1oyrs of sitting, I thought great. so I gunked the engines, and started them up to get the smell off, and now one of the motors has water in the oil!!!! I could have gotten some water in the motor from pressure washing I hope, its not that much in there, but as soon as I seen it I shut it off, I know warming the engine will burn it out, but I think I'll do another oil change on it, cant hurt. will head gaskets go bad from sitting to long?? should I try tighten the head bolts??

Absolutely NOT

Change the oil and see if the problem reoccures since you suspect in got there from pressure washing.
