The car overheats and shuts down, ignition with gauge normal...This sh*t happens anytime the temp goes over seventy degree's outside. But only at intermittent times. Done all the bullshit, changed oil, anitfreeze thermostat sensors, still keeps it up

Focus ES V6
The engine is smoking, might be a bad gasket or a cracked head.... I've tried many things but without taking the engine apart and rebuilding it I am not sure what the problem is. It incessantly smokes, in the cold mornings, or hot afternoons. I am not loosing much oil so it is minor, but annoying when you're engine smoke is drifting in front of other cars at the stop lights. I heard this is a more common problem with the 2000 model.
