Find out why the engine's overheating and fix it. That's what everybody else does..... Might be low on coolant; might have a bad water pump or thermostat; Might be running rich... And the list goes on and on.

Do a compression test , Is there white goop under the oil fill cap ? Is the exhaust whitish ?
