Problem 1: Junkyard radiator
Problem 2: you didn't diagnose the cause, just the effect.

did you change your radiator cap?
Did you check to see if there was any flow through the radiator?
Did you bleed the system?
Does your Radiator fan motor turn on?
Who says your car is overheating?

Just some basic questions to get you started on your journey to enlightenment :P

So you think i should go get new radiator and new cap. Yesterday the temperter meter was at top not in the middle. My radiator, the upper hose and lower hose are extremly hot. I don't want to blow another radiator. The radiator fan motor is on. I already flush the radiator 2 time with water before put cooland in it, there wasn't anything flow through the radiator. Cooland just sit in one place the car still running but the radiator, upper and lower hose got extremly hot after 5 min

by that description, I'd replace the water pump or at the very least inspect it.

Dear internetautomar
I have try to remove the tamming belt cover out but what should i do with the bottom timming belt cover. It seem like it stuck with the crankshaft pulley. I saw in this book it talk about the punchmark but when i open the timing belt upper cover out i couldn't find the puchmark. I also see they are talking about " confirm that NO.1 Cylinder is at TDC on its compression stroke". what does it mean and what do i do when i change the timing belt so it will line up right. How do i know the thickness gauge is right
My car is nissan maxima GXE single cam

in short, you need to take your car into someone who can handle it. It appears to be more than you can handle
