How do you clean slush out of the engine after the cylinder head has crack and has mixed oil with antifreeze?
Obrosario
After the engine is repaired, drain the engine oil, remove the oil filter and leave the drain plug out of the bottom of the engine over night. Complete the oil change with a new filter. For assurance you may want to repeat this process in about 200 - 300 miles. This should do it but I am sure there isnumerous methods that will work as well?

If you have antifreeze in any cylinder, this indicates a blown head gasket in that area of the head. Could also be a warped or a small crack in the head. I have seen this over and over again. Cylinder nice and shiny if the engine was running, due to the water and piston cleaning the wall of the cylinder.

If a 3800 engine has milky oil what could be the problem?
i hate to let you know this but you have water in the oil pan which means that you may have a blown head gasket. the antifreeze is draining into the engine by draining into the cylinder or cylinders and dripping into the engine case. do not run the engine with this condition as it will seriously damage the engine. you may also have a crack in the water jacket inside the engine block which would allow antifreeze to drain into the engine case.

Why do you add antifreeze to your car?
Antifreeze does 2 things. First it protects your engine when the outside temperature is below freezing and the vehicle is not running. If the coolant freezes it could crack your engine block requiring a new engine. Caution: 100% antifreeze will also freeze up if it gets too cold. For best results you have to mix antifreeze and water. Check the antifreeze container for correct mixture. Antifreeze also has other things in it that keeps the water pump in good shape, prevents corrosion of the the radiator and helps transfer heat out of the engine. You need it even in hot weather.

In countries which have a winter season ALL cars should have the correct amount of antifreeze added to their coolant fluids. If this is not added and the fluid freezes the expansion of the ice will crack the engine block.
