Golly I'm Dumb!!

[sjarrett71]

I got my intake swapped out and everything buttoned back up. Everything went great except for the heat.

When I went to start it afterwards it wouldn't start, had the distributor 180 degrees out. Got that fixed and it really helped having the remote mounted solenoid.

The reason I'm so dumb is when I took everything apart some antifreeze went into the engine. I thought to myself at the time I would just change my oil and filter before I fire it up. Well I forgot. I started it up and ran it to set the timing. Didn't have to run it too long but the engine did warm up a little. The thermostat didn't open though. After I remembered about the antifreeze, I drained the oil and removed the filter. The oil was very milky as would be expected. The filter had a lot of antifreeze inside of it.

My question is what should I do to make sure I have all the antifreeze out? I had some oil and poured it into the oil fill hole to help flush the oil/water mix out. I would prefer not to do back to back oil changes which is what I was thinking might work. Any other suggestions?

And since misery loves company, what are some bone headed things you guys have done?
