    If it really overheated damage can be done--even if only once. If the temperature just got a little higher than normal, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Coolant/oil leaking into the combustion chamber, loss of compression, damaged valves, blown head gasket are the normal signs. It may take a while for the damage to appear.
