[QUOTE="Ironhand, post: 10792762, member: 32955"] If you over heated it then chances are the deck of the block, and the heads are warped. Probably with a slight head gasket leak as well. Your motor needs to be torn down and inspected. You need to look at rod and main bearings as well as the oil pump. Look for any signs of excess heat which will usually give a ''blueing'' to aluminum surfaces. Even 30 seconds is way to long for the engine to be at that temp. I can show you what 30 seconds overheating the motor can do to a camshaft. Im being very serious when I say you need to tear the motor down and inspect it. Also, replace those spring clamps on your radiator hoses with regular screw type hose clamps. [/QUOTE]
