When my belt came off, my water temp got all the way as far as it would go
might have been over 260+ yeah serious. I never had white smoke come out my pipes or anything. She barely made it up the driveway. I let it cool for an hour and came back to start it and it started right up just fine, no problems. Today it runs like it did new....anyway, Did your engine turn over when you tried to start it? Sometimes the piston rings can actually weld itself to the cylender walls, which is a big problem...
