so when i took off my head i was in a rush and forgot to drain oil and coolant, and a nice mixture of the both spilled into the gaps between the block wall and cylinder sleeves, questiong being how can i drain that oil out..?? thanks..

 

motor is a d16z6... and its in the car otherwise i'd just flip the motor on the stand lol...

 

use a shopvac and take the filter out so you don't ruin it.

maybe put some cat litter in there to soak it up so you aren't sucking straight oil into your vacuum.

actually it still might ruin the vacuum - or atleast make it smell like motors. that wouldn't bother me tho...

 

see...

 

i was thinking about a shopvac, but that area goes down pretty deep so im not sure a shopvac would reach all...

 

fabricate something - like a little plastic tube taped onto the end of your shopvac tube. something that could reach in there.

or i wonder if you could siphon it out - that's a crazy idea.

 

i thought there was a drain bolt on the block somewhere..???

 

Use a piece of vacuum line or straw or something. put it in then put your finger on end to seal it and repeat alot of times. Use some coolant when you get most of it out and put it in there and do it again. Wipe the cylinders out as best as you can. Then give it a flush

 

ya there are, freeze plugs!

 

the vacuum line trick worked... thanks guys..

 

just remove the big 21mm nut on the block!

 

i got it using my shopvac and some clear tubing from an old fishtank

 

what big 21mm nut are you talking about? same problem happened here but i thought i drained coolant...not!

 

standing in front of the motor, it's between cyl 4 and 3 behind the header... right after the header curves towards the ground look on ur block...

 

it right beside where the engine stamp is. on the right..you cant miss it. had the same problem 3 days ago. make sure once you loosen it, dont pull it out fast..lol!

 

HOLY **** CAT LITTER IN THE MOTOR?
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA

 

actually urself for not reading thoroughly...

clearly he was referring to litter in the vacuum to soak up the oil...

 

Really? That's what you have to say with 8000+ posts???
