Default Engine overheated and H2O emulsified with oil

As the title states.
Engine is ticking. Cranks right up. Water pump is working. Flow through the radiator. Coolant is being recovered.

Had the coolant system serviced 6 weeks ago. I should have done it myself. The temp shot up through the roof on open highway. I replaced the thermostat before this happened.

Sounds like a cracked block, or head. Water and oil should never mix, especially in an internal combustion engine.

I would not start and run the engine until I had it checked out.

Yup. Nope...she has sat still ever since last week. Probably will stay that way. I say that it is time for an engine upgrade.
