Did I get Coolant in cylinder or oil
hey guys I was setting valve lash on cylinder#1 and removed the stud to where the rockers lock on to. And a bunch of coolant came gushing out. But drained into I don't know where as I was too busy trying to thread the stud back on to stop it. Any ideas if it went into the oil pan or cylinders???

Past the valves into the cylinder
No, fortunately, there's no path going that way, other than to whatever degree the valve stem seals leak. Otherwise all the oil in the crankcase would end up going that way in a matter of just a few minutes of running.
Coolant is DEATH to oil. It turns it into something powdery and gross that doesn't lubricate. Change it ASAP.
