Still having coolant issues.

Well after tryin everything that I can to figure out why I am getting oil in my coolant I am completely stumped. We replaced the head gasket, replaced a blown head, flushed the system completely out. I tried to leave the house and the truck over heated before I could even get out of the driveway. I popped the radiator cap and the coolant looks is Desert Tan and the consistancy of chocolate pudding. It had clogged the radiator so bad that it took like 5 minutes for it to come undone witht the help of water and gravity. I have no idea what the issue could be.

I replaced the head, cuz the last one had cracks on cyls 2 and 4. I will prolly pull the timing cover tomorrow to look. The guides are still good, but there could be a leak somewhere on it.
