imagine if you have a bit of oil in the coolant it will get contamination,not bad, flush the radiator more often. but there must be coolant in the oil and you don't need contaminated oil on your pistons for sure. a broken piston ring could waste your cylinder block which probably weighs about five hundred POUNDS without the cylinder heads, or transmission on it. never mind you can save your antifreeze for a car that's still drive able.

Well with 308000 on a 4.0 you got more then the average life out of one. It is time to just face the facts and either rebuild the engine or replace it with either a reman or low mileage used one.
