Hi,
New to the forum. I bought a 2016 P1000M5 for cheap of an auction. It was flooded. Finally got to tearing it apart. There was definitely water in the oil and one of the valves was still holding water, etc. My thoughts were to tear down the motor completely to give it a good cleaning as I don't know what was done to it before. The engine will NOT turn over. I was able to loosen the flywheel bolt without holding the flywheel, however, I think this is mainly due to the pistons being a bit rusted in the cylinders. I was going to try to get something to loosen that up today. I don't think it was ever ran after it was flooded, which in my view is good, but still alot of water in it.
Questions I have as I do this:
Any other tips for a complete engine teardown from those that have done it?
Here are pics of some of the components that have rust.

Questions I have as I do this:
- For those that have torn it completely down, are there any Honda Specialty tools that you needed outside of normal shop tools? If so which, so I can get them coming.
- Specifically I think I may need to rotor puller (07733-0020001) and something whatever is needed to rebuild the head.
- Where do you take the casing and head to get machined, cleaned and inspected? A dealer or a machine shop? I think I am going to have to have my cylinders at least honed well to clean them up.
