You may have a blown head gasket !! A decent mechanic will know how to check !!
It could be the thermostat not opening ! Take it out and try it !! Put it in boiling water see if it opens ! If not its buggered!!

often dont till it blows through at the moment it will just be combustion gas passing over the gasket eventually it will blow a gap through it

if you take head off drain block by removing brass bung on lhs of engine just in front of engine half way up near front ,you should look for staining across fire ring to water way
