That is a much improved motor(or rebuilt with improved parts).That smaller amount of water and not being turned on while wet should cause little if any trouble. |

I agree with Rugsucker. If there's no apparent water damage inside the motor housing, then you're probably good to go, but since you've already got it torn down, you might as well do a basic cleaning and lubrication while you're in there. Just to be on the safe side, I'd also be inclined to clean off what rust there is on the outside of the motor housing and shoot it with a rust inhibiting paint to help keep it from coming back.
