Well if the head and gasket were replaced right and the head is not cracked then you might have a cracked block although I've never heard of this happening on these motors unless they've been really beat on.

On a side note your O2 sensor is probaby toast and should be replaced once the rest is sorted out.

...what about something being warped or the head was not torqued down correctly.
