when you trn the key does the engine still crank over and sound normal?? i hope so...

possibly you just blew your head gasket. you said u just got a new engine?? and radiator??? what malfunctioned with the old one(s)??? when you noticed the temp guage go above the halfway point did you pull over immediately to let it cool off?? or did you just keep driving it??? you very may well have cracked the head but hope it was just your head gasket or worse, the block...:dead:

edit

nm you said it doesnt turn over. here say it with me HY-DRO-LOCK.

how exactly did you 'take teh engine apart' to find the oil and coolant mixed?? did you just drain the oil? i say take off your valve cover and check for cracks first step, if you see nothing pull teh head off but man if youre not savvy i would take it somewhere. cos yuo probably wont be able to line the timing abck up right after youve pulled it apart. i dunno what to say man i would try by taking the valve cover off and seeing if you dind any cracks and look around the block where the head meets it for cracks.

sorry man thats gotta suck hardcore :dead:
