sounds like a broken coolant seal. is white smoking coming out the exhaust ? usually what happens is you get exhaust into the coolant system and pressurizes it and spits out all the coolant...........unfortunately if that is the case you need a rebuild

If its not the coolant seal then maybe a sticking themostat. If it doesn't open all the way the car will overheat eventually. Check the coolant for presence of exhaust gases. If they are there, then you have a blow coolant seal.

i dunno much about 'rebuilding engines' but im pretty sure its fairly hard....requiring a lot of equipment and kno how.
good luck with that.
