93 Camry-Ran hot/Busted Radiator

[joenow22]

93 Toyota camry 4 cyl the fan motors did not come on because of blown fuse. The (I do not care because it is not my car) person driving the vehicle drove it approx 20 miles without cooling fans coming on and became so hot that it started bogging down, clattering, etc. They continued driving it anyway and not concerned about what was going on.
It became so hot that it cracked the plastic reservior that runs along the top of the radiator. Changed out the radiator and fixed the cooling fans, do not have any signs of water in the oil or radiator after driving for 15 miles or so. I was thinking perhaps would have a cracked head or head gasket
The car starts good but has virtually lost its power, cannot hardly go over 30-40 mph.
Does anyone have any suggestions to what perhaps the problem could be. I assume they have virtually fried the motor Thanks

It is possible that the head gasket blew, or the head warped. Try a compression test, that will probably give you an answer.

As for the inconsiderate driver, I hope they are paying every last cent for this. If they're not, break both of their knee caps, and then take their car.

Yeah, for starters do a compression test and maybe an oil pressure test.
