Ka24de start up 3 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyocpGH0-iU)

My Ka24de start up after about a week & couple days after my car overheated. if you look through my windshield you can see water gush out my rad filler. & this was the first time i heard that squeaky noise as if the belt is loose or something. it was fine before.

best case scenario ,blown head gasket. worst case, warped/cracked head or block.

gotta check the head and block for warpage, and i would suggest taking the head to a shop to check for cracks . there's a special spray that shows cracks too, but i havent used it personally...

How long was it over heated? It takes a lot to warp things.

Not that long. Probably like 10 mins or less. & after diagnosing i figured out i have a blown headgasket.
