just changed head gasket now burning coolant
the motor is a f22a6 everything is stock. i took off the head to get one of the spark plugs holes retapped and i took it off again to get it resurfaced because i thot it was warped because it was burning the coolant and still is. put a brand new head gasket on with the dowel pins holding it in place on the block.
i tighten all the bolts cris crossed starting from the middle all down to 78lbs. did a compression test and a leak down. both test came out good with the compression on most cylinders came out around 200 and the leak down came out 50 which is moderate. didnt see any bubbles coming from the radiator or leaks from the head gasket. so what can the problem be? i really need to find out whats wrong with it because its pissing me off!!
here are some pics of the IM



here are some pics of the block
does this look ok?


im having alot of ppl telling me the head is cracked where would the crack be?

the spark plug is gettin some oil on the bottom of it so what does that mean?

all my lines are in the right place right?
