just because the headgasket is fairly new doesnt mean it isnt blown. Its not so much a wear item as it is a it will go when it damn well pleases item. Do a compression test but do check the thermostat first, check the top rad house and see it its warm.

you could have droped one of the sleeves. thats what happened to mine 3 brand new rad a headgasket and 3 thermostats pulled the head back off and took the metal ruler to make sure the block was flat that when i discovered i drop the sleeve in cylinder 3. im not saying thats what you did but it sounds close to the problem i had. It was time to get the block sleeved anyways
