Could be any gasket or any hose in your cooling system. Are you leaking anything?

Check the seal around the water pump, the thermostat housing, the heater core hoses, the upper and lower radiator hoses, and the radiator itself. Its also possible that whoever installed the head gasket screwed up, or the gasket was screwed up when they put it in there.

Tightened it and its still hissing... or tightened it and it is no longer hissing but you are still getting bubbles?
