engine size? year?
Any chance that a turbo pipe has come adrift somewhere? Often the engine makes a deep booming sound if it has.

Could be the EGR system that recirculates the exhaust gas for reburning.....
Failing that, an air leak into the fuel system could be a favourite - particularly if it doesn't like a cold start.

Unfortunately, that sounds like the cylinder head gasket may have called it a day....is it still chucking its coolant out?

I was just a bit concerned to hear that you had boiled the engine under load....thats very unusual these days!
Anyway, if the problem has occurred since then obviously something has given up the ghost......head gaskets don't always fail between the cylinder and the waterways, but thats definitely the commonest point.
If you take the oil filler cap off and rev the engine, is there a load of fumes being kicked out?

I wonder if you've partially seized it.
