Did you check how good that block and head sit together? it might be that your coolant flow spaces dont match up and its burnin up water/coolant... cuz its not black like oil and blue like rich

you could have cracked the gasket when you put the head on..it could have been torqed to tight....or you bought a warped head...was it definetly a running head when you bought it?
