Did you have the head resurfaced when it was off?  Did you use "copper coat" 
on the new gasket? and lastly.... Did you re-torque the head down ( after a 
good long drive, then about 10 operational hours later.  All of these are 
especially important on a bi-metal engine.

I've had to do head gaskets twice in a row on my 1600 - the gaskets available 
are not the best, I think the use of copper-coat was the key in keeping it 
sealed.
