Coolant in cylinder.
 
I pulled off the head and got a little in #8. Not much at all but I used the quicker picker upper on it. I saw a post like this before, but forget the outcome. Everything be a-OK?

And who said you couldn't take heads off with headers still in! woot! Kinda tricky. :D

Hmmm...how much is a little? How much of it were you able to absorb?

You'll probably be fine, just be sure to change the oil/filter before firing the engine.

Not very much at all, few tablespoons maybe.

Just about everybody (covering my azz :D) that has ever done heads will get coolant in the cylinder. Not a big deal. Just get a rag and absord it out. Ya, change the oil before firing her up.

Ild say put oil in it and fire it up .....run it 15 min at idle and then change the oil and filter.
