Killed my Grizzly 400

Well ,,, we all know what happens when you borrow something out…

Long story short: Borrowed Grizzly 400 to Wifes brother , stick into radiator hose on bottom of machine , not noticed as it was in a river when happened. Take up north , borrow to same brother in law , he drives it 14 miles with NO coolent.

Even though he was in front of me , and we stopped SEVERAL times ,, he waited until it was NUCLEAR hot , and would not move anymore to ask me ,
"What does this RED light mean ?"

I shut it off immediately , asked how long has it been on ?
He says , at least the last 10-15 mins.

Motor is cooked , rings gone I’m sure , who knows what else might be junk. It was so hot his nuts must have been melting.. WOW , and what do you do …. He says to me
" good thing I told you hey"

It’s a little f#cking late now I said… lol… Family , what can you do..

So , anyone have any experience with a rebuild on a 400 ?
any advice ?

Planning on rebuilding it ,, sure it needs a piston , rings , and lots of new seals. Going to go .50mm over.
Hopefully head is not warped , and cylinder is not cracked , if they are ,, cost about $600 each pc..

Any advice appreciated.
