There's a lot of churn here but some of the basics still aren't mentioned:

1. Are the belts adjusted correctly?

2. You should eliminate temp-comp board. There are how-to pics here and on Art B's site. Have it done if you can't; or maybe there's someone from this board near you. But you're reacting to a gauge that might be giving a false reading.

3. Did the tech who replaced the thermostat get the correct one and position the vent correctly? I just puled a non-vented one from a 240, presumably a local parts store "The part number is different but this is the exact same thing ..."

4. The foaming thing is new to me. Overheating IME is: loose belts, sludge/scale in the system, bad thermostat, or (rarely) a bad impeller in the water pump.
