Made a post on here last night about my electric water pump failing, had to

drive the car for 5 miles with it overheating. I did stop several times to let it

cool off. Next question is, could there be any damage that may not be

obvious? My oil still looks and smells clean (although I plan on changing it from

getting it so hot) as well as my coolant, and its not having any studdering or

new odd engine noises, also no white smoke that I can visibly see with it

running. Might I of gotten lucky and made it without any engine damage?

Thanks

It depends on your definition of "overheating". If you were attentive enough to stop and let it cool several times, then maybe you are ok. Of course, a head gasket might have gotten slightly compromised and may let go later. All you can do is deal with what you have at present.

Suppose I'll get that pump replaced and give it a drive see how it goes. Thanks
