Default Changing headgasket, coolant went everywhere need help!!!!

Yeah while removing the head a bunch of coolant was poured into a couple of the cylinders in between the walls, what's the best way to get it out or should i just use some paper towels? I was thinking of using a pump device.

hay man, not a problem. just wipe it out of the cylinders with a rag. after you put the new gasket on and all back togeter be sure to change to oil incase you got coolant in the oil pasages. just fire it up and the rest will burn off.
