Water in the cylinders, Middle two.
Will I have to take the sump off and remove the pistons or could I just spray something like wd40 down there to drain the water away ?
Sump gaskets are quite expensive I think

If the water has got in there through a failed headgasket then you can get the water out the cylinders while the head is off, no need to take the pistons out???????

Just mop it up with cloths, any slight residue will evaporate and piss off out of the exhaust valves anyway once combustion starts.
