did you have the head machined flat before reinstalling?

95% of the time when you pull a head (even per FSM) the head will be warped, and needs to be machined.

you will not be able to tell by looking at it. You need to use a straight edge and feeler gauges to determin the warpage if you choose not to take it to a shop.

Also are you sure you bleed all the air out? KA's are notrious for holding air pockets
