Did you check your block to make sure it wasn't warped too?

Then maybe you have a warped block. Pull the head back off, and repeat the process, but this time, make sure the top of the block isn't warped.

i replaced the dizzy o-ring and cam plug before oil stop showing up on that corner of the block, if any gasket on that side of the head is leaking it will end up there, or worst case your block is warped
