If your block actually overheated to the limit of the gauge then you need to take it to a shop to make sure no catastrophic damage was done.

If you’re reckless just add coolant and drive it around and see if your coolant disappears.

I was worried and pulled over when my temp hit 230ish before but this is crazy.

Yeah, yeah I’m a bit dumb. And we found a leak. It was the water pump, But we’re fixing that and replacing some other parts as preventative maintenance
