> [@93dx--hatch](#): > > its an easy mistake I can’t believe that some of the other self proclaimed honda “gurus” did not catch it sooner When I stopped over to check over his wiring I specifically asked him if he had the injector wires on the correct injectors as I could not remember off the top of my head which color went to which injector, that and I didn’t have a schematic available to me. He said yes. Oh well. Alls well that ends well good job. ---

While switching out the ebay sheet metal intake mani last night with 95d16turbo, somehow we managed to hook a coolant line into a vacuum port and vice versa or something happend . either way somehow coolant got into the head, the diagrams on honda tech suck btw.We ran the car for about 30 seconds and then there was a huge cloud of coolant coming out the exhaust and we killed it immediately. and now there is a small amount of coolant in the head visible through each spark plug hole. From what ive been told by various people is to suck the coolant out or blow it out each hole. I have no clue how to do this and do not want to fuck this motor anymore, if anyone can help tonight i would really really appreciate it!! ---

just pull the plugs, crank the motor, spray some wd40 in there, you’ll be fine as long as you didn’t hydrolock it and bend a rod. ---

We killed it as soon as the cloud of coolant came out.
