Overheat Bad????
My friend Mike has a 86' RX-7 n/a that he has just picked up for free. The bottom seal on the radiator had a big leak and all of the coolant drained out. It overheated in downtown Portland so we towed it back up to Vancouver. He owes me some money so I might just ask him for the car if the overheating didn't do any serious damage. I know the car runs because it fired right up with a bit of smoke at the beginning. I already have a car but an RX-7 would make a great project. What do you guys think.
P.S. my friend probably won't pay me back cash so this might be the best that i can get out of him.

if it was a white smoke. the engine is most likely blown. try starting the car a few more times at different intervalls. if it becomes hard to start, and especialy if it puffs white smoke, then the coolant seals blew out. that means engine rebuild.
