We had the same circustances here with one of the guys who has a 88 S4, the pump sezied and the car overheated, i think it was driven a short distance again after overheating as soon as it was restarted. No damage done to the valves in that instance, the belt did not break just damaged.

Wally,
You are optimistic. I have been working on my 78 engine and compartment now for two years. Well not every day as you would, but enough time that I am well beyond 80 billable hours. Just cleaning and painting the engine to a lot of time. Then there was a good 40+ hours pollishing the manifold tubes. Clean coating and polishing again. After that bead blasting the exhaust manifolds with paint. Repairing the fire wall and then detailing the rest under the hood. Well I could go on. I am thinking there is probably 400-500 hours just under the hood and the engine is still out. No valve or engine work.

Reminds me of the wives' theme song (to the melody from the theme song for "Bonanza").
Get it up, Get it in, Get it out, Don't mess my hair uuup...
