My car has overheated now it will not start, do not see any fluids on ground. Battery is too big, what could be the problem?

Overheating can damage a head gasket allowing coolant into the cylinders. As we all know, coolant will not allow an engine to run. We need fuel/air misture

start with a compression test. Then you need a leak down test to see if there is a failed head gasket
