Good point. He had driven it for days and was overheating to the point of dying. It finally died in the street and a cop pushed him out of the way. That's when he put the oil in it, got it started and drove home. I then walked him thru putting water in the empty radiator, when he finally called. You're probably right - the overheating did the damage.
