If you lost all the water then that temp sensor was probably reading air temp and not water temp at that point. When I lost a radiator hose on my SpecE30 and didn't realize it till I was down on power on the straight away, I managed to damage the rings and compression in the back two cylinders. That is why I now have my oil pressure idiot light installed in my water jacket so if I lose water pressure I will know immediately and shut her down. My advice would be to do a compression and leak down test prior to pulling things apart, but if you lost all the water and ran the car for 8 minutes you have probably damaged things in the motor.
