drained the radiator about halfway to get it low enough to take the upper radiator hose off when first started taking things apart. Today I took the lower hose off to get to another part of the injector harness wiring that was preventing me from pulling the harness out of the way for easier install of the lower intake. Looking in the bucket, it appeared a film to be on top but hard for me to tell if its oil. I need to flush the system but upon putting car together I don't think i will be able to flush it at same time and set timing and all of that. I will post pics below and get you guys opinion on rather to use this coolant temporarily until I get the car back together , timing set, take for a drive, ect. I would hate to put in new coolant and then have to put in new coolant again when I flush it soon so what is your take on what I should do? I also just changed the oil a few wks ago and should that be changed again also?
Also, the upper intake that had coolant/oil mixed in that one runner, number 2 runner, I need to clean the upper. Not sure if my plenum gaskets will be in tommorow or not and i'm thinking it will have a gasket for the plate on the bottom of the plenum as well. I would be able to take off that plate and allow water to drain after I flush it out real good after spraying on degreaser. If that plate wasnt taken off, do you think i would be able to get all of the water out just through the bottom ports, as well as blowing it out good thru maybe the tb with an air line? Also noticed some good up in the hole on bottm of plenum as well, the circular hole. So thoughts on best way to clean it?
