I have a 95 taurus and the weather was severely cold -30 degrees the car started fine and when I drove off I noticed I still had no heat I assumed that it was really cold and just kept going fifteen miles later the engine died it sounded like it wasnt getting compression when I tried to start it I tried to thaw the car when I got it home but it never started again so I started to tare it down hoping to find the problem I found antifreese in the cilinder do I have a craked block?? the oil isnt discolered but is runny and smells like gas

hi well not good news. this will be most likely a cracked cyl head. a crack anywhere in the block would put coolant in oil. however a crack in the head water jacket will put anti directly into the top of the cyl and foul plugs eventually it would run down into the oil.but first through the exhaust system. good luck billymac
