Re: Overheating, how much is too much? 700 1991

Pat,

Have the car towed to a shop that you trust. They will be able to assess whether the engine sustained any major damage. It is possible that you blew the headgasket or warped the head, but this is not always the case. If you're lucky, and you didn't run the engine any longer than absolutely possible after it overheated, you might just get away with a new waterpump. But best to have it checked in any circumstance. Starting it right now would probably not be a good idea. ;-)
