Just had intake gasket done on 350 and I believe block was not drained properly if antifreeze was left in engine how fast would it wreck engine?

It would trash the engine bearings real quick. Antifreeze in the oil is a for sure engine getter. I just got done rebuilding a 98 350 vortec that had antifreeze in the oil do to the intake gasket leaking and all the engine bearings were trashed.

If you recognized you added antifreeze to your engine and drained it before you ran the car would the engine be okay after refilling it with oil?
Yes, if you drained it out before starting it should be ok.
What happens if you dont delut the antifreeze?
I BELIEVE straight antifreeze will freeze at 7 degrees Fahrenheit but a 50 / 50 mix is good to around -34 degrees Fahrenheit ( antifreeze and preferably distilled water ) Also , the engine sensors for the engine coolant temperature won't work properly
Why do you uses antifreeze?
Anti-freeze disburses heat produced by the engine (via radiator), thus preventing engine from overheating and allowing it to properly function.
What kind of antifreeze does a 1997 Saturn series use?
The 1997 Saturn used dexcool antifreeze. The chemical compounds are different and should never be mixed, as the engine will no longer cool properly.
What happens if you put antifreeze in where the oil go?
If you start and warm up your engine: 1) The oil gets very foamy and mucky, and does not circulate through the engine properly. 2) The water in the antifreeze can heat up until it turns to steam, which expands with great force, and breaks some part of the engine. It's best to have the oil changed. That will empty the engine of the oil and antifreeze mix.
When antifreeze is mix oil what does that mean?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe if antifreeze is getting into the engine oil it is because of a bad head gasket , or perhaps the head has warped
Does a 1997 Mercury mountaineer need antifreeze to cool the engine?
Yes , it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water in the cooling system . The antifreeze in the mixture provides freeze , boiling , and corrosion protection ( the corrosion protection does " wear out " ) The other parts in the engine cooling system , such as the water pump , engine thermostat , engine cooling fan , hoses etcetera also need to be working properly
How come the antifreeze I put in my Saturn 99 sc2 never goes down I haven't put antifreeze in it for months?
Don't complain; if the engine isn't leaking coolant that just means everything is sealed up properly.
What is the synonym for antifreeze?
engine coolant

Would a 2002 Chevy cavalier overheat if the wrong antifreeze was put in?
A Chevy Cavalier can use standard, all-purpose antifreeze, so it's unlikely that the wrong kind was put in. However, if it is not diluted properly and the antifreeze is mixed with more than 50 percent water, the engine can overheat under some circumstances.
What are the effects of antifreeze mixing into the engine oil?
A bad head gasket is the most common cause of antifreeze mixing in the oil. The antifreeze will dilute the oil and it will eventually cause your engine to seize up.
