At this point, you should dig into the wiring. The sensors could be perfectly fine, but if the wiring isn't allowing them to properly communicate with the ECU, it will act just the same as if the sensor were bad.

Check for bad ground on the CTS wire harness; clean up the manifold and ring terminal with sandpaper. Then check the rest of the wire bundle =).

pull your dipstick before you condemn the heads gaskets, that white oil on the fill cap can just be caused by condensation.

Yeah I consistently get that yellow/white paste on my oil cap. Compression check isn't too troubling and I haven't been loosing coolant, so I just wipe it off and cross my fingers. My oil doesn't look milky when I change it, either.

swartlkk's probably right; wiring. I'd guess a broken sensor wire inside the insulation or maybe bad ground.
