Whether it matter or not in the compression config, on an ignition engine, ( Like my Chevelle's 427 - first hand), over heating can damage ( un tension) the oil rings; and possibly the compression rings, as occured on a spark engine. ( actually heard them 'tinkling' as it cooled) If you get as far as pulling GP's or injectors, a compression test, and leak down, would tell all.

and I pulled the oil filter apart when it happened to the 427, to see if any metal was present.

Happened a second time, worse in elasped time, but we shut if off frequnetly, and the first test was a compression test, as coolant pressures went thru the roof when the pump failed.

We'll say a "prayer" for it!
