I suspect the head was warped or cracked. You could try a compression test or a test for exhaust contamination of the coolant but you should probably tear it down and start over. Did you follow the correct head bolt torque sequence?

okay so what I did is I went and bought another head now that I got it on you gaskets everything my car will not turn over it seems like it's not getting any Spark but you're too distributor and there is spark coming out for spark plugs what else could it be after replacing the head and I can't even tell you if there's any smoke coming out to the car won't even turn on
