Sounds like you did something wrong when replacing the head and the head gasket Isnt properly sealing. Your replacement head may have been overheated and warped.

how could it be overheated and warped if it was checked for that and resurfaced?

If it was checked and resurfaced than you shouldnt have that problem. I think your headgasket isnt sealing properly did you use the right torque sequence and torque the head bolts to spec?
