   Was gonna buy an engine off another guy on here, however water has got in the bores... Engine still okay to use providing there is no rust in the bores and the water is drained out or is there alot more too it than this?

   Walk away - plenty more engines about.
   
   If you are desperate then buy it, take the sump off and get rid of any water that's soaked through. Sump back on, new oil, dry the bore out and hope it's all okay.

   Just slowly increase the post count and you'll eventually be able to see it.
   
   Could try eBay?
   
   Does the engine have no head on it? How has it got water in the bores?
