Check your head bolts!!
You need to either check your existing head bolts to ensure that they are within tolerance, or better yet, replace them altogether. (The new bolts have a built in washer.)
These bolts are 'torque to yield', and thus get stressed into the plastic region of the stress / strain curve, which work hardens them. I was very nervous during the last 90 degree torque sequence on my head, and that was with new bolts installed.
