Head Help: Part 2
 
Ok, last time I was having trouble getting the power steering pump off, but now I have that solved, and have ran into a few other things.

1:Where are the Coolant Plugs in the Block. I can't see them, and I sure can't reach them.

2.In the struggle to get the Drivers side head off the car, a bit of coolant/dirt/carbon mix fell down into the cylinder. What should I do? How should I clean it? Is this gonna **** up my car now?

3.After taking the heads off and examining them, I noticed a few things about the combustion chambers. 3 of them are perfect, but one is verycarbonized. The exhaust port is covered in some type of thick white carbon, rest of chamber is black. That cylinder has also been running lean.

Any ideas would be helpful.

The coolant plugs are located in the back of the heads. You can just take a shop vac and clean out your cylinders, it will be fine.

Well the heads and the block have coolant caps. I mentioned where the block one's where at but the head ones are on each end they are the circular area right next to where the bolt of the alternator or power steering was at. Don't worry about coolant falling in happens most of the time just stick a rag and soak up as much as you can.
