"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,

"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."
 
"no
to be safe pull the plugs


"no
to be safe pull the plugs and turn it over
then put plugs back into it and run it like hell,LOL"
