89 pickup problems

My son recently had his 89 v-6 engine overhauled(Late Dec. 2005) and
about a month ago started getting foam when he removes the engine oil
filler cap. He is having to replace radiator fluid about every other
day. No other leakage noticed. Took it back to shop and they said
engine okay and leakage in heater coil. Not! He has taken it to
another shop and they tested for carbon monoxide in radiator fluid, but
was not conclusive. He was told to run engine until head gasket blows.
Second shop also said repair shops are putting cheap head gaskets in
and not the new re-designed thicker head gaskets.

If anyone has information on what is problem, testing procedures,
cures, I would sure like to know.

Bill
