My understanding of oil is it traps, coats and lubricates all the little
metal / dust type contaminates as well as lubricating all the parts. Anti
freeze is actually a great cleaner and will break the oil down. So not great
stuff to add to a crank case, then work the engine unless you want it really
clean inside for the replacement of all internal parts.( side note gasoline is
a good coolant but not recommended anti freeze is a good cleaner but not
recommended < grin >)
If the power plant has not been worked tones from the original intrusion
of the coolant it should not be a big problem ( re head gaskets etc on an
auto). It will be the water that's the problem if left in the crank case. It
will promote condensation every were in the power plant. That especially will
cause damage with some nice clean metal to attack.( ugly end result ).
But that is all based on my experiences - stuff happens.
