Same as everyone else overheating flushed out radiator, new water pump and thermostat, running like shit, no oil in water. or water in oil.

What I want to know is it worth shaving and porting the head while it's off ? It runs on duel fuel, and i will fit extractors to it at the same time.

IMHO not worth the effort.

Your symptoms sound similar to mine although mine was pushing all the coolant out the overflow bottle as well. You may find once you rip the head off it's just the gasket. This was the situation in my case however I had the head full reconditioned anyway.
