WELLL I WAS DRIVION ON THE FREEWAY AN TO MAKE THIS STORY SHORTH I TOAST THE MOTOR. I WILL START but it will take quite a while to start. when it overheated the spark plug wires pop out, and it wouldn;t start. The car started like 40 min later after it cooled off , and the engine itself doesnt have any weird noises from the inside. but it just takes like 10 min to overheat I think the water mix up with the oil so i dont know if i need a full rebuilt or just replace the piston rings and head gasket or just the head gasket itself cuz maybe the head is completely crack so let me know wht you think

I'd pull the engine and have it checked for cracks.

If you want to "try and see" put a new hg on and pray it doesn't mix the coolant and oil again. Might want to check to see if the head and block are flat with a straight edge before doin any of that though.
