Quick way to see if antifreeze is in the cylinders without doing a compression test
1) pull out ALL the spark plugs
2) coil wire disconnected
3) radiator cap off
4) a couple of helpers to watch
Pull ALL the spark plugs out and position one of your helpers on each side of the engine bay where they can see the spark plug HOLES.
You sit behind the wheel. Crank the engine over for two or three seconds - doesn't need to be too long.
If there is antifreeze in one of the cylinders, it will blow out, or at least blow mist out of the spark plug hole for THAT cylinder.
Good luck!
