Did you grind your rings to obtain proper gap? .0045"/inch of piston diameter on standard cast aluminum, .006"/per inch of diameter on hypereutectic pistons. Did you lube piston packs when installing?
Battery condition and starting motor performance are important. Replace that headgasket. While the head is off, squirt some oil on top of the pistons, and crank engine and see if it is still cranking hard. If it is....start over, something is wrong.
