Make sure you have the head checked for warp if the car ran overheated for a while. I doubt an overfilled crank case would cause that-would blow out a seal or two first. Check the thermostat too. Easy way is to throw it in pan with water -heat the pan and see if the stat opens up
@MAM92lx I'm going to guess we'll find out more specifically what/where when it gets opened up. That should be on the 10th. I'm sure they'll document with pics. If being overfull on oil could do it, that's a possibility; it drove all the way home from CT like that because someone overestimated the amount to put in. Otherwise it could have been a coolant blockage. Plus the head gasket has been regularly wet along it for a while now.
@MAM92lx It turned into a blown head gasket. The following day I started it up, white smoke, no heat, engine overheating, cold hoses/radiator, milky oil. The whole 9 yards.

Yea I know you said that in your text. I wonder what caused it to blow. They usually are pretty stout unlike the damn intake gasket.

Sounds okay. Blowing white smoke?
