Glad to hear it, Hope you checked the oil for contamination and I hope it was ok. I have seen to many of these that were not lucky, back when I was a teenager, a lot of us poor kids didn't remember to get antifreeze in our hotrods before Winter.

This is also the best suggestion I could offer to you. Suggest you have the car towed to a heated garage and let 'er sit for a few days. Doing this now is much better than waiting another day for a miracle.

If I were asked to place a $$$ bet on the outcome of your problem, I would put my money on..... you will need a new engine.
