my car took a dump. well not totaly i hope. i took the engine out of my talon a few days a go because i had to tap out two holes for some tranny bolts that were striped out. i changed the oil with the engine out. when i was draining the oil i saw a little antifreez. but there was still antifreez coming out of the pipes, so i didnt think anything of it. well this morning i get every thing all back together and my car was tapping loud as hell. it will tap when it is cold and havent beeen started for a while. anyways it starts to smome really bad. im thinking that aint good. so i rev a few times and the hks bov blows as it should nice and loud. after two revs shit starts to go wrong. i take off the oil cap and check the oil and its milky like no other. antifreez all in my oil how can this happen so fast if i just put it in the car. so now i have to do a complete rebuild. can anyone give me any help with this the car will turn over fine and every thing

Maybe it sat with water only in there and cracked the Block?

Just a guess.


Dont start it again though. Coolant isnt a good lubricator.

do u think that the head is still in good shape. because i baught my brothers 90 awd talon but his timing belt broke. i have not taken it apart to inspect everything. i know the head is gone. would it be good to swap heads and try to go from there so i can atleast have something to drive.
