So far today…
1. I found the “bolt in the middle.” Thankfully, Honda was kind enough to put a hole where the bolt is. My 12″ extension gets to it, and I remember that it is 12mm. Today, I bought a flex joint to get my ratchet to turn the socket on the extension when I get it on there. And I should be just about home on this head job by then…
2. The Honda Heater Core is flushed, and flowing. It was really gunky.
3. (On the Blazer, I turned the engine with no plugs in and the video will give me a rough glance at what came out.)
Video ensues.
Part 1: (*Heads up: This got hella messy. But at 100+ today.. It was manageable.)

Now, about the Blazer….
*Note to all watching: YES THERE WAS DEFINITELY WATER DOWN INSIDE THE CYLINDERS! AS WAS NOTED, IT GOT THERE IN EXTINGUISHING A FIRE FROM AN IDIOT HELPER MECHANIC. MAYBE I CAN DO ALL THIS MYSELF. ANYWAYS.. I ALSO PUT SOME MMO IN THERE OR “MARVEL MYSTERY OIL” AS A “PISTON SOAK” SO THAT WOULD EXPLAIN ANY RED STUFF. I ALSO BELIEVE WATER EVAPORATED, AS IT HAS BEEN HOT OUT HERE. I also should just leave that small puddle of MMO; When everything goes back on, I am sure it will get sucked in. Can’t hurt. Won’t do anything anyways.
