Default Coolant question.

Im in the middle of a rebuild on my npi motor. I had the PI heads on and the timing stuff on and ready. I forgot to drain the motor originally. When I flipped the motor over, all the coolant poured out. It did not look like it went back in anywhere, just on the garage floor. I always freak out about nothing, but want to make sure I didn't screw anything up. Also, just to be safe, is there anything I can do to make sure there isn't any coolant where it shouldnt be? Thanks.

well i'm assuming that you have an air compressor so just use it to clear all the coolant off.

I am definitely planning on getting some air sprayed around it. There is no oil in right now as it is out on a stand right now. I did plan to just pour some oil straight through and leave the drain plug out. Thanks for the tips.
