While working on the formula we left it running for a while to make sure everything was gonna be ok. Me and my buddy went in to eat and came back out and the car was overheating and the coolant was overflowing. Now when I try to start it it just clicks. We charged the battery and tried to jump it. I thought the battery was drained but apparently it's a bit more serious. I'm not sure if some coolant spilled on the starter and messed it up or if there's a head problem. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

 

how long did you leave it running for?

check your battery connections that they are good and tight

 

pull the plugs and try turning it by hand. either seized a bearing or hydrolocked the engine. I blue a motor in my first bird racing when I got the motor out #8 was filled with water

 

False alarm fellas, it was just an old junk starter. Put a new starter in it and it runs great!

 

Thermostat stuck and made it overheat?

 

I'm not sure, I can't find what makes it run a little hot. It stays between 1/4 and 1/2 on the temp guage. That's between something and 220 degrees. It almost never goes over 220 though... I'm going to try to flush the radiator and see what happens.

 

from what I hear that's about the right temp for a 3rd gen.

 

That is normal.
Try getting your radiator cap checked or try a new one.
A bad cap can make you boil over at normal temp.
