Thread: my poor hot smurf

Now its all cooled etc first check is fill her up with clean water and with the cap off look for bubbles while someone loads the motor for you (easy in an auto one foot on brake and the other a bit of throttle in reverse, same in manual but good hand brake and dont burn the clutch).
Lots of bubbles indicates other problems like possibly blown head gasket/cracked head.

If all good there a reputable radiator place should be able to remove the tank and advise on the condition of the radiator, acid clean and new tanks may be as good as new or it may be past it.

Change your oil too, oil does not like being overheated.
