1. Did you torque the cylinder head bolts correctly! 2. Did you use new head bolts! 3. Change the viscous hub on the radiator fan. 4. Take the car to a garage and ask them to carry out a TK head check.

Hey cheers for your reply, I didn't do the job so not sure what went on, I do recall the owner saying there was new head studs in the head kit. It does the foaming from stone cold too.
