Sounds like a blown head gasket, have you been using antifreeze? and been replacing it at the recommended times?

A water jacket is a small 'tunnel' inside the head and block for water to flow through. There are also oil jackets as well.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
