This is a good clue as to what the cause may be. Rings are in the block and if it wasn't burning oil before are an unlikely source of the oil burning after the head was replaced.
I would guess something along the lines of improperly installed valve seals or even a gasket issue (unlikely) like installed upside down with the oil drain back holes only partially exposed if that's even possible on this engine, I don't know.
Thanks Trav, we didn't install any seals inside the head, since head came all ready to go. We just prepared the surface, put a new valve cover gasket and spark plug seals, using my memory, I think that's about it.
As Trav indicated, if that's what was changed before this started, it is an immediate suspect. Where did the head come from?
