I had an 87 900t. One night the connector at the inlet to the heater valve broke off. Very little coolant was circulating. I drove home about 20 miles by stopping every 3-4 miles and adding 1-2 gallons of fresh water. The reservoir was empty every time I stopped and refilled. I never saw the temperature gauge in the red but it was hot, and the sensor was probably not in water all the time. No discernible damage was done to the engine and when I replaced the heater valve and started it up again everything was fine (and has remained fine for several thousand miles).
