There are quite a few ways to evaluate damage as a result of an overheating issue.
1. Cylinder Compression tests will most likely reveal a problem, low compression = a leak in either the head gasket, valve seals, or piston rings.
2. White smoke from the exhaust is a sign that coolant is entering into the combustion chambers and burning which is a result of a blown head gasket or intake manifold gasket depending on the application.
3. If coolant blows out the top of an open radiator inlet when the throttle is pressed in most cases that is a sign that the engine is sucking air into the cooling system which could be through the head gasket or intake gasket depending on the application.
