Overheated

hudini · September 29th, 2007, 10:32 PM

My 2003 Mach overheated last night as I wasn't paying attention to my A-Pillar gauges. What brought the overheating to my attention was a significant Detonation sound as though I dropped a rod. Basically it sounded like marbles in the engine. The engine stalled and I had to have it towed to a Ford Dealer. The car only has 16,000 miles. It turned out to be a heater hose.
Upon the car cooling down the marble sound diminished significantly.

Question: Do you think any damage was done to the internal workings of the engine? What should I be listening and looking for?

Thanks all......
