There are several likely causes, none very rosy: 1) head is warped (was it surfaced and/or straightened in conjunction with the new head gasket?). 2) gasket damaged during installation. 3) head is cracked. 4) block is warped and/or cracked.
If you are committed to the car I'd recommend finding a re-manufactured head from a quality supplier and have it professionally installed. That covers 1 -3. #4 is very difficult to access without removing the engine from the car and taking it apart and having it magnafluxed. The only sure thing is a complete engine with a warranty. Cost of the reman engine is probably in excess of the value of the van.
Good luck

That is a major repair if the valves are the issue
or the head gasket

If that is a van type vehicle, I would get rid of it
& not buy another van type,any brand

Hi!

I think you missed checking a couple of things more.

1.- Water Pump
2.- Temp. Sensor
3.- Radiator Fan
4.- Timing
5.- Spark Plugs
6.- Spark Plug Wires
7.- Vacumm Leaks
8.- Fuel system (Pump pressure, injectors, leaks)
9.- Electrical System
10.- Check for even compression on all cilinders.

I hope this help you find your problem

Toyota estima stated to overheat

yes it is the head gasket the compression is is leaking in to the cooling circut, take out the plugs and see if any is a orange colour if so to repair it you will have to buy a new head , gaskets head bolts other wise it will not last a 1000km

Blown head gasket

Look the engine over and see if you can find any external leaks, change the thermostat and make sure that fan(s) are operating.
Check the oil for water...loosing that much, it has to show up somewhere. Blown headgasket usually puts oil in coolant or coolant in oil, causes an external leak from between head and block or goes out through the tailpipe as steam.
look carefully and you will find your problem!!
