My friend got a crap car(Dodge Colt). He got it free from an aunt but it has 110k and has never had a oil change :-) (the sad part is I'm not exeggerating or joking, his aunt addmitted it). But thats not the problem, his dad is a moron and told him to take the top of the engine block before flushing the anti-freeze. He now has antifreeze in every hole except the 4 cylinders. How can he get it out? He doesn't have a shopvac(has everything else, why he doesn't have a shopvac I don't know).Any suggestions? Any advice on how to get this motor better(he needs all new gaskets, new sparkplugs/wires, and in desperate need of a good cleaning(1/2 of grease))?

I am assuming he took the head off? If that is the case and he is rebuilding it should not be a problem, you say he has everything else, does he have a compressor? Wear saftey glasses and blow out the anti freeze from the holes. Good luck with it, What year Colt is it?
