I would like to ask if you have a 4cyl or 6. IIRC Both have iron block and aluminum heads. From my experience, once driving old dodge minivan with the mitsubishi V6 and once in a cavalier in limp mode and pouring jugs of water into the rad because of hole in rad, and beaking heater core.

Both engines did not blow head gasket from being driven in limp mode and boil over.

Driving with engine overheated will cause the head/block to separate more than designed (expansion or warping) and that is when head gasket fails.

Any hoses look like they are failing?
