First off, you don't use copper spray on Honda head gaskets. Second off, did you re-use your old head bolts? You shouldn't do that on a Honda either. You said you had the head resurfaced, but did you check the block for warpage? You should always check the head and the block.

Do a block test to confirm, but you probably installed the head incorrectly.
