Sounds like the water may have made its way in far enough, possibly washing the big end bearing grease out. Possibly will need a big rebuild  :undecided:

If the brake discs have any rust on them tomorrow, then it's even worse.

Agreed, my guess it'll be so seized by tomorrow that it won't even turn over. It'd be worth whipping the head off straight away :wink:
