MA61 7M-GTE cooling/idling problems

Okay guys...
I've got a 7M-GTE in one of my ma61 supras. I didn't do the conversion, but bought it like that about 1 month ago.
It has blown a headgasket twice, and is now on a HKS metal one, properly torqued down and has done about 20,000kms since.
It's running a stock ma61 radiator (reconditioned), with 7M fan. Heavy duty coolant.
The thing is, after driving it likes to blow air from the radiator into the overflow tank. like the air has evaporated.... however, on the drive home, and today, the temperature gauge rises and looks to overheat. It has a new thermostat and all hoses have been checked and tightened....
it has only got hot twice. it overheated when we drove it home, and today it *nearly* did. second bar from the top. it went up and down like crazy in city driving, on the way home.
and i've done a fair few kms since having it (about 900?) and its only got hot today...
can someone please tell me it's not a headgasket?
thanks
ryley
