Was that head checked for cracks? Pressure test, Magnaflux or both?
Have you pulled spark plugs and inspected for signs of water still getting into your cylinders?

It was supposed to be given the full rectal exam.
I paid for the services, but I did not have the ability to 100% check their work.
Not pulled plugs yet, I should have time to work on it some more later this week.

I'm not opposed to throwing the kitchen sink at a problem and ending up with an LS engine in my Toyota but it would be nice to see this through if for nothing else closure.
I bought a car that also had all "new" parts but had an overheating issue the PO couldn't resolve and he threw all kinds of interesting stuff at it. Long story short it had a gelling issue with what is assumed to be mixing incompatible antifreeze at some point and partially plugged the new radiator core, the simple feel the tanks with you hand test found that issue...
Good luck!
In my limited experience, the first thing any decent machine shop does is check for cracks. They don't want to waste their time either...
