When the head was off, was it checked for flat and/or surfaced? If the head was warped it will not seal even with a new gasket.
Other factors, the block surface needs to be cleaned down to bright metal, all residue removed, which means removing the studs, if equipped. The bolt holes chased with a tap, the bolt threads cleaned with a wire brush, replaced if showing signs of corrosion or thread damage.
Installing a stud kit will help, if that has not already been done.
The bolts/nuts must be torqued to spec in a tightening pattern, retorqued after first run up to temperature. If the thermostat was not replaced, replace it. Common for a thermostat to be damaged from overheating.
Finally, check the coolant level as the engine comes up to temp. When the thermostat opens it may take more coolant.
Anything is possible, but those do not have a history of heat cracking the head or block. They can freeze crack, then having the head off disturbed something, but do review everything before assuming the worst.
