Most probably that due to the over heating your engine head gasket had blown and needs replacing. At the same time resurrfacing of the head is done and the engine head is chacked for damages.

What might've happenen could be that the head gasket has gone and needs replacing or (this is just suggestion) we had a 90's BMW 520i which we had the same problem as you've encountered, and we found that the pipe connected to the cylinder head was the problem so we custom made our own, but that was for a different car but it might be something to do with the cylinder head or the head gasket.
