Hey Team,

I have recently purchased a Toyota corolla 2010 .
The engine became overheated because of the improper connection of coolant pipe.
Luckily the car stopped i have noticed the overheating to which i responded properly and connected the pipe and fill the water in Coolant.
After this i drove the car and it appears to be normal.
My question is that what would be the possible consequences for this to my engine ?
Kindly guide me

the most that can happen is it will need a head gsket in the future but it depends on how hot it got when it got overheated first. which we can't tell.
