i doubt it prob got some coolant down in a lifter. got oil pressure? change oil after running? u always get some coolant down inside. i would change oil if didnt already and let idle up to temp and drive easy, a lifter should go away if its air or coolant. if not she may be hurt, a bottle of stp oil additive goes along way on this too
