Check for cracks in the head/block also damaged intake manifold gasket. Do a cylinder leakage test, if numbers are okay, do a wet cylinder leakage test, check for bubbles in radiator. If bubbles appear, possible head gasket problem or damaged cylinder.

make sure you installed the head gasket correctly and the head isn't warped
