Was tearing down Krome Ave in West Dade at 130+. When I slowed down to exit the battery light illuminated and discover that the AC belt jammed up the water pump/pwr steering/alternator belt. Soon the temp surges to red and I monitor my oil temp on my VDO. Temp stayed at 240 and the water temp was red for 10 miles of driving. When I pulled into my garage the coolant leaked profusely and I shut her off. The car ran fine throughout the entire ordeal however how do I know if I damaged the head. What's the worse case scenario? Pisses me off too because the shitty 02 underdrive pulley caused this...I've lost 2 belts and am constantly checking the tensioners. Well, it's too late the shitty part is that I'm weeks away from installing my blower. Guess I'll do everything once I diagnose this.
