Ok so i accidently left my car running and the cars temperature went through the roof and a heard a slight valve tick. turned the car off and let cool down then put one bottle of water in it and drove to get fluid. The fluid was never down and I saw no leeks anywhere... Checked the oil and no discoloration on the dipstick from a typical blown headgasket. Checking everything tomorrow and I mean everything! Can i overheat my car and it still be ok? The tick i never heard after the car was shut off the first time? Do I just need to seat my valves? Whats all the things I need to check? Its a D15B non vtec with a MPFI swap.

 

Change ur thermostate

 

U shouldnt have to do all that other crap.i just went thru all this with mine

 

Ok so just the thermostat... Would there be any other damage to the car from it overheating like that... Not really alot of steam or anything

 

^^ the two common things that "may" show up right away or soon depending on how hot it got, is a slightly warped head......could show with a sweat from a leaky head gasket.....and/or could have damaged the valves seals which which will show in your oil consumption

Hopefully, you won't have to deal with them

 

Ok so for now this is what I did for anyone who uses the search engine... I replaced the old thermostat with a newer one and my coolant levels went from 1 quarter down to 1/8 the guage. This was probably the problem. Oh and I also replaced the transmission with a 5 speed si tranny and that makes a world of difference.
