- 1998 ford explorer
so my 98 explorer has a very bad head gasket on one or both heads I am pretty sure due to the coolant in the oil and vapor coming from the tail pipe when driving and a lot of it soo much the car behind me in invisible. My question is when I parked the truck due to this issue I pulled the spark plugs and cranked the motor to pump any coolant out and put oil in all the cylinders because I can not afford to fix it until the spring but I did not drain the oil which is milky and coolant contaminated and its been sitting for about 3 months do you think its too late and the motor has been compromised I drained the oil today and ran half gallon of atf threw it since its so thin and then 2 quarts of 10w 40 all with the drain plug out so it would drain straight threw should i put the plug back in and put a couple quarts of oil in it while its sitting or is it ok to leave it empty i really hope the motor is ok after leaving the contaminated oil in there soo long any advice is much appreciated
