is your fan coming on?? ?

 

the cylinder head gasket is leaking.

to confirm this problem, take it to the local workshop with pressure pump for the cooling system. pressurised it to 1.5 bar.
observe if the pressure drops. it is suppose to remain in 1.5 for 20 minutes.

the cylinder head could have warped already because of overheating.

remove the cylinder head and measure it with straight edge tool. less than 2mm is allowed. if too much, have it refaced.

replace the cylinder head gasket. replace the cylinder head bolt too. check for cracks on cylinder head especially between the valve seats and compression chamber area.

that will solve your problem.

P.S. if you will scrap it, just give it to me for i ain't got no car.
