Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated

you may have a had a bad cylinder headgasket .. this was causing the overheating and allowing oil/water into the piston chamber's .. have the head pressure tested while off the vehicle to be sure it is ok (not warped/cracked) then replace with a new gasket set !!

hope this helps
