When my wife's Suzuki filled two cylinders with coolant, we had a hell of a suprise cranking it with the spark plugs off. Make sure everyone (including the one in the driver's seat) is ready for a possible fountain.
Coolant tastes sweet, is quite poisonous and burns your eyes as painfully as gasoline, though it took a lot longer for THAT sensation to peak. Also bad for breathing.
The full-cylinder wasn't the surprise, it was the partial, so that the piston was doing some feet-per-second when the coolant level inside reached the spark plug.
Ugh, what a mess that was. But I saw the James Bond Smoke Effect too, and that was almost worth it. Wonder how we can set that up in normal operation?!
