Coolant Loss/foaming

Hi I need some help form anyone who has had a similar problem. I recently had to replace the radiator in my carina(1997) although it had been leaking the temp sensor showed normal. After this I was still losing coolant and noticed that the coolant was like foam. The radiator shop suggested a bust head gasket so I have just replaced that. the head was checked for warping by a specialist and was ok. Engine reassembled I still have the same problem. Someone has suggested I may have an air lock is this likely or am I looking at a new cylinder head?

Regards

Did you replace the thermostat at the same the head was done ?? Could be the problem.

Replaced the thermostat yesterday and ran the engine for about 30 min with a header tank on the radiator, a fair quantity of bubbles were displaced once the thermostat opened before eventually settling down. I am hoping this has resolved my problem but may look for some more help if I drop any coolant over the next few days.

regards
