Worried sick I botched a job -
I was replacing the exhaust elbows on a 454 XLi,
FWC engine and I did a poor job draining the elbow
prior to taking it off. When I did get it off, I ended up turning it upside down and some water (salt) leaked out and went right down the manifold opening. I would say about 1/4 to 1/2 cup.
How screwed am I?

Pull the plugs on that side, remove the coil wire and crank it over a couple times. That will push out any water chat may have gotten in the cylinders. No big deal. |
