Default sounds like head gasket

i have coolant in my oil. i drained the oil and filled the radiator and after about 20 minetes water started coming out of the oil drain plug. i just left the plug out and waited. not water comes out 1 drop every 15-20 seconds. any ideas? the biek runs perfectly.

That does not sound good at all. My vote would be the head gasket.

I'm no expert, but I have seen several motors taken apart, and I currently have my 03 636 motor split to replace trans parts, and I would say that they are pretty much all the same. Probably could do it in the frame, too.

If your pushing coolant then either your head gasket is gone or your block is cracked. Does your coolant tank pressurize after running a little, like a lot of pressure not the typical 10-20 psi? If it does, the leak is above the pistons either in the head or the head gasket. If it doesn't you might have cracked the lower block, but that is highly unlikely. Did you do the compression check with the engine warm or cold?
