I would imagine the range of damage could be from "none" to "a lot."

Does it really matter how much damage poeple think has been done when you will be pulling the motor out and examining it?

I overheated my motor years ago. It soldiered on for a number of years until I took it apart. When I did, I saw a lot of damage to the housings and to one plate. Was it all heat damage? Who knows? (I am sure someone does, but the point for me is that it doesn't really matter.)

Either way. I hope your damaage is mild and that you will get a thrill like I did when taking my engine apart. When I did so, all the things (parts, systems, reasons things do and don't work) started to make more sense.
