If the motor was hot tanked and cleaned the moisture should be gone.

"I just went through this exact issue. Resolved it last weekend by doing 3 back to back oil changes. Did the first two with thin weight oil (cheaper stuff too) and then the final oil change, I used good stuff. Also, I went through two cheap Fram filters during the process and intend on using a better one when I'm ready to run next.

Oil is clear for me now."
 
You need to run it hard enough

You need to run it hard enough and long enough to get the oil up to about 200 degrees to evaporate the moisture. 30 minutes at 3000 rpm should do it.
