Not knowing what I'm talking about, I'd recommend doing a full
fluid change (coolant, oil, brake, and steering), probably
replacing the thermostat (and maybe the two fan thermoswitches)
and driving very slowly for a while while you verify that all
the gaskets (valve cover, water pump, head, etc.) are still
in good shape.
