how to replace heater core in 1990 oldsmobile silhoutte?

as long as the engine didn't overheat and had oil in it idling for 6.5 hour would not be a problem.
But idling for long periods of time can cause damage to the catalytic converter, so if you are now having power loss problem have your catalytic converter checked.

I don' t think keeping your car idled for 6.5 hours would damage the motor. Only, you wasted 1/4 tank of gasoline without getting nowhere. Why didn't you just turned off the engine instead kept it idle for so long.
