I would flush with diesel fuel and then atf.

There is water in the coolant, and water contains oxygen, so that is all that is needed for corrosion of ferrous metals..

If you notice any abnormal vibration or noise from the motor after buttoning it back up, I would split the cases and replace the main bearings.
