The whole system may be equalised by a relatively small bore interconnecting pipe at the top of the heads that would bleed any superheated gassy coolant back to the better circulating right side and vent any gas to the tank. With adjustable ball valves if they are a help.

What you suggest here Trevor sounds a lot like what I mentioned earlier, and what YT is saying. I do think the core of the problem is fluid mechanics. Two separate heads being cooled by a pump on one side.
