So i finally get her to start
HHUUGGEE clouds of white smoke. For at least 2 minutes. It doesn't smell sweet, it has a strong smell of fuel. I noticed that the more cranks it takes to turn over, the more smoke.
The car had been over heating before but now the problem just disappeared
.
I took the radiator cap off and started the car to look for streams of bubbles. First, while i try to crank the car alot of steam/thin white smoke comes out of the filler hole. Second, i didnt even get a chance to look for bubbles because as soon as it started radiator fluid gushed out. ( Coolant O-Rings?? )
Also, i don't think fluid is being pulled from the coolant reservoir. It stays full even when the radiator is empty... ( water pump ? )
Help please

Ok i just drove it. It over heated when i hit high RPMS then dropped back down. While the car was on i popped the hood and the antifreeze reservoir was bubbling plus the radiator was making this humming noise.
Checked oil. Was on the L mark on the dip stick. I bought materials for oil change plus more oil for when i need to put more in. Not sure if i should do a full tune up on a engine i have to get rebuilt... I don't think the oil would have anything to do with the white smoke though...
Again, it still takes a minute or two of cranking and pausing before the car will finally turn over and start

Who is good for rebuilds? The only place i can find is rotaryheads;1500 for base rebuild
Id probably end up getting the ports done too ( $225 ) since my engine will already be taken apart.
