Coolant in oil
Well, my coolant didnt drain completely and when i took the intake off some leaked into the lifter valley and who knows where... This is bad. I took a shopvac and sucked what didnt flow downa hole up, and i was thinking i could reassemble the engine and drain the oil, then flush it with a quart or 2 of oil.... Then when i get it started drain and flush it again. Is this overkill or would one flush do it, or do i need to do something else?
Important Q, thanks for any help guys.

Drain the pan and refill it, then don't worry about it after that. Whatever's left won't be enough to cause a problem before it evaporates off when the oil heats up.
