You need to stop just throwing parts at it and have it diagnosed accurately.

we replaced the gaskets because there was oil in my water. The intake gasket was bad. The thermostat was stuck, so it wasn't working properly either. The water pump was a guess, but the rest was replaced because it needed to be. Thank you

Did you send the heads out a machine shop to be resurfaced and tested for cracks when they were off?Did you replace the head bolts when re-installing them?
