I recommend you start by checking the head gasket. With the engine cool, remove the radiator cap then start the engine. Check if the coolant is bubbling.
If no bubbling, then do a compression check on your cylinders. I recommend removing one plug per cylinder prior to starting this check to reduce load on your starter. Also check plugs for anything unusual, like coolant, gas, or oil.
These checks will help determine if your engine is healthy (compression) and if the headgasket work was done correctly. You can move to fuel and spark after.
Since the problem started after your overheat and head removal, you should check there first in my opinion.
