If your heads are milled your bolts may be bottoming out. This would explain the coolant loss. What bolts are you using ?

Do a search on those bolts with milled heads there are some problems w/vendors and members. Not saying thats your problem but bottoming out with milled heads and arp bolts has come up before.
Good Luck.
