two stroke no ... four stroke yes.
Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

I have been told that in some 2 strokes it is possible for the water that cools the exhaust to run back into the bores through the outlet ports if the engines are tilted sideways when still 'dripping'. Haven't pulled one apart to confirm if this is true, but I always try to make sure that the engine is at least stored with the head elevated well above the foot, if not vertical. Someone else with more intimate knowledge of the subject maybe could confirm or deny this comment???

It is possible for water to go down the exhaust tube through the exhaust port and into the motor. It is just as possible on a 4 stroke via an open valve. Any water in the exhaust would drain out straight away though.

On a 4 stroke the motor oil will leak out or possibly flow into the combustion chamber if it isnt stored more or less vertically.

Either way petrol is likely to leak out of the carbs.

Try making a stand out of some 100 x 50 ... maybe something nailed to a saw horse would do the trick. even a bit of 4 x 2 nailed across a couple of studs in the garage .. or better still rip of the gib board of the wall in the spare room where the wife never looks and nail something to that
