Hey everyone,

While taking off the lower intake I leaked some antifreeze into the lifter valley. Along the length there are several holes that go into the block. If some antifreeze got into these areas is this something I need to worry about. What should I do? Not worry about it since not much leaked in? Drain the oil?

Advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

It'll be fine. Just make sure you change your oil once you have everything back together.
