How long since the repair was done, how many miles have you driven since? Did you flush both the oil pan and cooling system after the repair?

You probably should have had the heads magna-fluxed. Aluminum heads are notorious for hidden cracks that show up when heated, usually in the valve ports.

was done a few weeks ago i drove it only a few miles and yes everything was drained and cleaned out
also Could it be the timing chain gasket leaking and letting coolant into the oil pan thats the only thing i did not change because it looked good.
