I only tested 4 cylinders, two on each bank (cant remember which). I'll check them all this weekend and let you know what I've got.
I've got a new question regarding the rear differential: I took out all the bolts, but whoever put the seal on it did a good job because it won't budge by hand and it's not draining. Do you think water still could have gotten in there? The etire axle was under water, could water have gotten in at the ends? Just trying to figure out if I should drain it or not. Thanks for all the advice so far, I hope to have it moving by the end of the weekend!

I think water could have MAYBE gotten in there. I would take a flat screwdriver and hammer and "gently" tap the screwdriver between the cover and the differential. It should just fall off after a few taps. Be aware of the "wonderful" smell of used gear oil!
