Had this problem lately after doing the timing belt tension adjustment.

Mejo barat din ako sa coolant e. I use tap water as coolant only.

Before di masyado nagffroth. konting bubbles lang.

But yesterday was different.

the radiator filler neck is full of white froth (like coffee froth but its white).

what can cause this frothing phenomena?

started the engine cold with cap removed, no water gushing out.

no oil contamination in radiator.

no water contamination in crankcase.

no water contamination in A/T.

got no thermostat.

engine is 4d56T. water pump is vee belt driven (not timing belt driven).

head gasket is about 1 year old (i used the meiji brand, and i think an inferior gasket)

prior to this, months ago stream of bubbles (very very small sized) always show up. after topping it up with water, water level would go down after the air pockets come out. and so on
