Yes we have done the same thing. And we had the same outcome, we drained the motor and it ran fine for about 200miles and then she siezed up. The problem was when the machine went into the water into of course went in hot, then when it filled with cold water it tempered the piston rings, and finally they broke and cause a siezed motor.

Sorry for the bad news, but I would probably pull the motor apart now instead of later on the trail!

Thanks

Depending on the turbo you have change the oil and run it. Did that last year sled is still running fine.
