Hi,
I have a 94 ford aerostar with a 4.0 that was driven while overheated and the motor seized up. I fixed the problem that caused it to overheat and now it won't start. There is about 3 quarts too much oil in the crankcase and can't tell if antifreeze is in it or not. It looks like oil to me. While cranking the engine over the cooling system seems to presurize and antifreeze comes out of the radiator. I haven't pulled any plugs yet so don't know if anything is comming out of the spark plug holes. If my problem is a head gasket shouldn't the van start anyway? Please help.
