im assuming some of the coolant got into the block when i had the head off. thats my only logical explanation. what do i need to do to clear this up.

If thats the case, change the oil and check for coolant again?

you may have to change the oil more than once if a lot of coolant got in there. Change it, drive it for a while, change it again. Blow head gaskets are a b-otch!
