Wow, could be several things, cracked cylinder wall, wrapped head, corrosion of the aluminum around the steel cylinder sleeve, not allowing the head gasket to seal. Did you torque the head bolts? After running did you retorque them again? Any broken head bolts? Did the engine ever overhead? That could cause untold number of problems as well as the ones I mentioned.
