Default RST: Hot under the collar...

Guys,

I'm posting on behalf of a mate of mine who's RST is a little bit poorly at the moment. He doesnt have t'internet access.

The cars a Series 2, H Reg with just over 100k on the clock. Its had the actuator changed - I think its 31 PSi, by Power Engineering, and a Pace intercooler fitted. Its also running an aftermarket foam cone filter.

Thing is - it overheats an aweful lot, he's gone through about 4 head gaskets over the last few months. He'll go for a drive, and after only a couple of minutes of heavy right foot, the header tank will start to boil over.

I'm not Ford guy myself, hence the post here. I'm not expecting a definitive answer, just wondering where you guys thought it might be a good idea to start looking to solve this?
