Did you get new head bolts? A thin film of some gasket sealer sure can't hurt.

yes got new head bolts. What type of gasket sealer.

Fixed the truck, New head gasket, valley pan gasket and intake gasket. Had the heads checked and all was fine. Truck ran great for about 1200 miles. Now the truck started to run hot again. Checked the coolant and it was low. Checked the oil and it has some coolant in it. Where else could i be losing coolant and getting it in the oil.

The throttle body is leaking coolant, Can that leak get into the oil ?

how long on average do you think it takes to replace head gasket for someone that has done other vehicles but not a disco?

Saturday and Sunday, if you don't need to get the heads resurfaced.
