FREQUENT oil changes WITH filters. Don't need to use anything but conventional oil for these, at least until you are confident that you are okay.
An oil analysis after a while might not be a bad idea.
Hope for the best.

Why would their be water because of a head gasket? Unless you're thinking hes using water for cooling because hes in Cali. But he said he has a leaky rear main seal and he sat in mud(presumably the soupy variety) for a while.
As everyone else mentioned, change the oil several times with cheap junk oil and run it for a day or two and repeat, doing it twice is probably sufficient.

1) Drain water oil fill with new qauker oil + filter run for a day ?
2) Empty fill again with qauker + filter since i got a deal, Then for another day
3) Last Fill with my Synpower Valvoline and tough guard filter
A question to everyone is there a problem that i am switching between synthetic back to conventional to clean my engine out they are both 10w-30?

1: Drain oil/water, leave the plug out and filter off for a couple hours
2: fill with new oil, put on new filter. Drive for a while
3: drain, leave filter and plug out for a couple hours
4: Refill, new filter. Drive for a while
5: Drain, refill with good oil, new filter.
Question: Why do you spend 25$ on oil, but use fram filters?

Well i usally use Sypower Valvoline which is 30 dollars ford 5qts alone i dont want to flush it 2 times with that stuff.....so i bought 10qt's quaker for 40$ with 2 filters. Normally i run a pretty expensive oil so i mine as well change to a better filter i dont do this but on frams site it doesnt recommend changing the filter every oil change but every 7500 miles

You're doing it right man, but on the last oil change use a good filter, i think thats all anyone is saying.
