;) Well guys i have a simple question some of u might know right away. Is there a drain plug on the crank on my buddies 95 600 xcr. If so where is it? Because i rebuilt the engine and got some anti freeze in the crank and need to get it out.

OUCH, I don't know but I bet you'll hear to get it fired up and she'll drain herself. Now this is after to pull the exhaust and plugs and drain out as much as you can and pull rope to extract some. Then fire her up and get the gas and oil in there to lubricate it. Or you'll be told to tear it apart. Hope the first is told to you. Good luck with it and how did you ever get anti freeze into the cases to begin with?

I tried to rebuild, and think I got some coolant in the crank when I tore the Heads off. So now I need to know how to get it out. ???

There should be three of them very low on the front of the crankcase. One for each Cyl. I think they are the only bolt heads facing the front of the sled. 10mm I believe.Never had one of those but nearly all polaris motors have them.

pull the 3 10 mm bolts out,raise the back of the sled as high as possisble,pull the plugs,and start pulling,use premix to break in,

What parts did you replace? Pistons/overbore?

I don't "know" this for certain but I have been informed by a large Polaris dealer that anti-freeze makes a great engine wreaking gas spiking material for those who get their gas ripped off. I wouldn't sweat a dab but I would sure want to flush out most of any significant quantity. Some two cycle oil should help flush/ push out the heavier-than-oil liquid followed by a little mixed gas to get rid of the excess oil. That's what I do when I am concerned about foreign "stuff" in the crankcase which I don't want to tear into to remove.

Well it looks like your problem is solved already. I figured I'd throw in my method in anyway. I used a shop vac wet/dry with a small chunk of hose duct taped on the end. Vacuumed all the antifreeze up no problem. Is there a way to remove cylinders without getting the antifreeze in there? I tried everyway I could think of and still ended up with antifreeze in the crank.

Very good point! :D I've found that that method works pretty well.
I just rebuilt my XCR as well. Same thing; Wiseco, 40 over. Runs great so far. 114 miles on since the rebuild, and now it pulls really strong.
Did you tear down the crank, or did you get antifreeze in there after you began reassembly? I thought about putting mine back together without having done a crank inspection, but I'm really glad I didn't. Ended up replacing the seals and all the bearings.
Nothing like peace of mind, even if I hated to spend the money.

Yep, Drain the coolant. You may have to take off a coolant line going into one of the heat exchangers and it will make a nice mess, but its better than taking off a cylinder and getting coolant down by the crank. ;) SWRules
