By your statement above, I'm assuming coolant got in your oil and circulated with the oil through the motor. Bearing surfaces and coolant do not get along, before I tried to spin the motor anymore, I would pull the pan and check the bearings.

When the head gasket went I only drove it about 1/8 mile at 20mph. I made sure the oil circulated to sweep out any coolant. I guess it wasnt enough. I just cant wrap my head around that I drove it about 5 miles and nothing happened.
