i had the same symptoms and it turned out to be the water pump seal. if it is the head you should see white smoke pouring out of the exhaust when running at temp, am i right on this?
the water pump, if not sealed correctly on the lower seal, will dump water directly into the crankshaft.
i ended up taking my head into a shop that checked and tested it. they gave it a clean bill of health and thats when i focused on the water pump seals.
bought a puller from Pelican Parts web site.
