There was a noise at higher revs from belt area so I suspected water pump. So engine is out to change belts and water pump and clutch. Makes sense to change the gaskets.
Done same job , was putting everything new including head bolts give attention to front head my one skimmed 100 micron at least.was raf.. same problem as you have.Good luck.
