Default Change the motor oil and filter

ROBERTGWALTNEY Rob change the oil and filter of the motor. Also check the PCV valve for any discolored or milkey crud on these parts. If a valve cover is easy to pull, check for coolant on valve cover. IF nothing found I would say that you have a 95% OK and did no damage to the motor. I would mark and keep an eye on the overfill tank of coolant for the next couple of drives. I would add a bottle of water wetter to help lubed the seals in the water pump from the over heating. Make sure your oil pressure OK. I would change that water pump to a belt drive one. Unless you are drag racing and looking for every last HP, the old way works fine and you don't have to worry about hitting a switch. JMO. Rick L.
