Sunken RMK 900

Put my 06 polaris in the drink salvaged her pulled the plugs turned er upside down drained all the water, filled it full of diesel and let it sit for a day. I noticed the coolant level was higher than normal, drained the deisel out by pulling it over while on its side until dry. put the plugs in and she fired and ran after third pull once the smoke cleared up i drained the chain oil and flushed it with gas than drained again dried and filled a fresh. The next day i ran it up again this time bringing it to temp i noticed my coolant level slowly droping and white sweet smoke starting. Coolant level got so low i shut er down before getting to hot. no signs of coolant in the cylinders at all but it has mysteriously disapeard into the crank case???. I think it might be a cracked cylinder wall below the piston stroke? not too sure how to proceed do any of you sled heads have any advice?

pull you head off then pull the cylinders off and check, it may be able to get welded if its cracked

its easy if the motor is still stock just buy a new cylinder and gaskets and bolt it on. the rings are easy if they are lined up properly and no special tools besides the ambition and a torque wrench
