I put the plugs back in and cranked the motor again and water poured out my exhaust. 
I would say I had about 1 gallon of water in there. Immediately after I got it running, I changed the oil twice, then changed it again a week later. That was over a year ago...my car has been fine.

A local shop that does the work on my car did the manifold. I can't remember off the top of my head but it was like $1300 for the manifold I think.

How do you guys keep your engine so clean?!? 
I want to clean mine up but I don't know how or what to use without messing anything up on the engine. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Its good to be FRESH!!
ive always used simple green max on a cold engine. cleans it up real nice. if you have gunk all over the block just use engine degreaser or brake cleaner. just dont spray the electrical connections

She's getting cleaned up later this week.
