I'm not sure which one you used, I'll post a pic of a stock engine and you can circle it and show me.

Will your engine not turn over now? There really is no way to lock up the engine unless it is somehow completely full of water, which is a near impossibility.

no it turns over and runs just fine, but i checked the oil and it is extremely thin, smells like gas. ijust didnt think that if done correctly this would get into the oil, just making sure i did it correctly, i can change my oil tomorrow. post that pic

yeah thats the right one. Chances are you just haven't gotten all of the water out of the engine, or didn't let it run long enough for it to be steamed out. Sorry about the confusion earlier, I haven't slept since Saturday. I would just change the oil out, expecially if it smells like gas. Also make sure your plugs aren't fouled.

Thats Kevin's suggestion, and he knows a hell of alot.
