Default YZ125 Coolant in Crankcase

Let me tell you my story. Go down to see the summary

My bike wouldn't start, so i tryed everything i knew, everything was fuctional. So i decided i probably blew my top end...So start ripping it apart, i didnt think to drain my coolant, this is where my problem started. So i keep ripping it down (No Manual-one for a yz85 though) and pull my piston off, The damn thing has a chip on the exhaust side, about 3/8" in and it goes down and is letting air through under the ring. So i ordered a Athena Cylinder Kit, because my cylinder is screwed too. I realized that i screwed up bigtime, My crankcase is filled with coolant.


So my question is for whomever, How can i get all the coolant out of the crankcase other than tipping the bike upside down. I thought if i drained the oil it would do it but my dad said that the crankcase is lubricated by the oil you mix (he's more mechanically inclined, i'm more of the mechanic, if that makes sense) So please let me know of your ways, and bear with me, i seemed to have lost my manual, but i know its around somewhere.

Thanks

that happened to me.. i took my motor out of my bike and flipped it upside down to get it out and then i used diesel fuel and poured it in there and rinsed it to get the rest out. if you rinse it out like that use diesel not gas because gas will dry the gaskets out and diesel is oily so its fine. and no draining the oil out wont get the antifreeze out your dad is right.
