I would check timing . I’m not a mechanic but I’ve replaced the head on two civics , 2003 ex . And finally swapped out the whole engine . Did you install a new belt and tensioner ? You might be off tdc by one tooth and it can cause problems . We’re you tdc on the compression stroke ? Check engine light on ?
