Might be s good time to carefully look at the clyinder walls again and true the head surfaces.

Look at posts 77,78,79,80.
You said you trued the head. Im trying to help you here but it seems your sort of chasing your tail. I know you say you dont have a youtube account but they are free to get. A video of it running probably would have solved a lot. These engines make a pretty distinct sound when they have a blown head gasket. If you did not actually true the head by resurfacing then yes you may have blown the new gasket. That usually does not happen in the first hour or 2 of running however. Especially since you seemed to indicate that yours was pretty flat.
