I thought “antifreeze in the engine” meant “in the cooling system”; i.e. there was still plenty of coolant. If there is antifreeze in the cylinders, OK is correct, good chance the engine bearings may be damaged; i.e. the engine would need to be rebuilt, a bigger job than just replacing the head gasket.
