Flushing Antifreeze from Motor

[69Tool 16]

Hello,

 

I think that I found the source of the anti-freeze leak that allowed it to get into my motor. Basically, the intake manifold bolts were very loose on the passenger side. I retorqued them and then changed the oil and filter. I assume that there will be a bit of residual antifreeze left over even after the first oil change. Do I just change the oil a second time along with another new filter to ensure that there isn't enough antifreeze in the motor to do any damage to the bearings? This is the first time I have had to do a flush like this so sorry if this sounds elementary. Thanks in advance.

I would, it's cheap and you want your car to last a long time....

I would just pull the oil plug and see if you have any more water in the pan (because it will settle at the bottom) and then run it until its at operating temp and put around in it for 15 minutes or so to burn off all the residual moisture.. It should be good..

don't forget to retorque the head bolts as well, especially with aluminum heads
