Overheating Questions

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

My DeLorean has never overheated, at least not in my ownership. I'm curious 
though, I think it was maybe DMC Joe saying; "The secrets to long PRV life 
is to change the oil and don't overheat it".

Exactly how damaging is overheating to the engine?

If the car has had a couple of overheatings compared to say, 10?

If you stop immediately and have the problem corrected, or say driving two 
hours with a high reading on the temperature gauge.

What about a "total" overheating where you actually loose coolant and damp 
coming up of the engine compartment?

I think many would be interested in hearing the answers from the 
professional mechanics on this list...

I'm just curious...
