Sounds strange. Have you tried replacing the expansion tank cap? If its not holding the pressure the coolant could boil at a much lower temperature.

i know for a fact that we sell an awful lot of expansion tanks and also thermostat housings for these engines

have a look at these and see if there is any wet patches that indicate leaking
