overheating damage?
overheating damage? I just got a new block (in sig) around 3 weeks/1000 miles ago. I've already changed the oil twice, but recently I discovered an overheating problem which caused the temps to rise to about 240-270 range. I finally fixed the problem (burnt out connection in flexilite) but the engine overheated 4-5 times before I could fix it. No coolant boiled out or anything, you could just hear it boiling underneath the hood. I'm just wondering if there was any possibility that I did any damage to the block at all. Car still runs/drives great like a raped ape still. Any help is much appreciated.

mine over heater pretty badly one time when i threw a belt and didn't notice.
I found the belt and has been fine every since(25K miles later) I would just compression check everything since it was a few times. Other than that these engines seem to be pretty forgiving.

If it's running great, and you've got your heating issue nailed down, don't go out witch hunting for a problem. 
You're car will tell you when she's sick, no worries. 
I would'nt worry about it, heat soak alone after you shut it off can get temps close to that in certain areas anyway. If anything you could do a leakdown if your worried. Good luck.
