Well I tore apart my engine and I can see the antifreeze and oil mix throughout my engine. I am replacing the gaskets and changing antifreeze and oil and cleaning the O2 sensor. I am curious if there is an easier cheaper way to clean out the oil and antifreeze. I don't want to gothrough the more eexpensive way of doing it.

Wet vacuum and then wipe residue with a paper towel. My buddy did that to his olds achiva and it did the trick

That sounds like the Monte Carlo way!
I would recommend a 2nd oil change once you have run it for a day or so..
That way your sure to have removed all the anti freeze contaminants from the oiling system!

What stumpmi said on that oil change. Also it's recommended u take another paper towel soaked in oil once your done drying and wipe everything with it. It will reduce the friction from having everything so dry on your first start up after completing the job.
