how long would you have to run contaminated oil with coolant to ruin a bearing?

Not long, if you have milky oil you need to flush everything ASAP.

When breaking in an engine/firing for the first time, you always use distilled water instead of an antifreeze mix just in case there is a leak somewhere. It doesn't take much time to damage internals.

Well i had a gasket failure awhile ago and am just trying to get ideas while not having the bike with me. I might have ran the bike for like a minute with the really bad oil. Oil was fine before the big failure.
