Ok A/C gurus - I'm Stuck!

Hi All,
I'll try to make this short. Replaced compressor on 88 9KT. Still had r12 and did everything posted (dryer/o-rings/expansion valve etc). Flushed and cleaned everything well. Drew down good vacuum (29.5") for at least an hour.
Now I put in only one can of 134a and I'm already at 30 PSI low and 225 hi. The hi side is boiling hot and the cold side is luke coldish. The hi-side on the compressor pumps out a foamish white when I put on the gauge. It almost seems that the hi side is pumping liquid instead of hot gas.
I was thinking too much oil, but I only put in 3 in the compressor and 4 in the evaporator. I'm stuck as I have tried almost everything (including evacuating and charging again)and it's hot in a tie during the day!
I'm almost ready to give up and go to a shop, but know that they will probably tell me I need 'everything done'$$$.
Any help is much appreciated!
Marc
