Oil in coolant gallies....Help??
I was pullin off my head last night and everything went cool....my only problem is I wasn't expecting to have oil drip out from the head and into my coolant gallies around the pistons bores.....Is there an easy way to pull that coolant/oil mix outta there?? Im thinking there's maybe a plug or something I can drain the coolant from the block with...Or.....wet vac?? what ya'll think?

Flush the coolant. There is a bolt on the block near the oil filter, I think it's a 19mm; you'll need a new crush washer for this though. Then open up the butterfly valve on the bottom of the radiator.
