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.

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.

Just about everybody (covering my azz ) 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.
