Is it ok if some coolant gets inside your engine block? Maybe around 50-100ml total? Because the neo engines have coolant lines right above the coilpacks and when you remove the hoses it leaks into the chamber a bit. When I remove the plug the coolant drains into the block. The car then pours out white smoke from the exhaust for a few minutes. Could a little coolant do much to the block or does it just burn off?

That's a bad idea.

Could hydraulic lock the engine if too much gets in.

The normal thing to do would be to blow or suck the coolant and other random chunks of shit out before removing the plugs.

And what coolant line are you even talking about?

Remove the plugs, let the water drain in and crank it with the plugs removed, it will spit all the water back out, common method used on water logged engines, after a few seconds of cranking all the water will be kicked out.

Never put the plug back in with water inside, nice way to bend a rod or make a hole in the side of the block if the rod snaps.
