I just check my Renesis crate engine. I had quiet a bit of what looked like green coolant / moisture in the engine. Will have to wait a couple of more months to open and see if any corrosion exists.

I think I'd be a little nervous about that, particularly if it's been sitting some time already.  If it were me, I'd want the whole engine full of coolant, or completely empty and dry.  Filling it would be tough with all the empty ports, so I'd probably lean toward flushing it out with plain water, then run a hair dryer for hours into the engine to make sure it dries out completely.  
 
Cheers,
