Hey why could my buddys GSR be overheating if he has changed thermostat, resurface the head, new headgasket, new oem water pump, new timing belt.

Could it be a bad block and is it fixable?

run your motor and take off your rad cap, if u see bubbles in there or your res its a hg leak

narrow it down..
either that or your themo is bad.. and its not opening up

how can you tell your oil is mixed with coolant?

 

Pretty simple. oil will float on coolant so if there is any black oily substance in your coolant then well.....you get it right

in worst case milkyway.lol

it's possible damaged ports when they machined?

bleed the air.

with car running touch the upper and lower hose, if both hoses are warm(not hot), your thermostat is bad
