Premature failure of the head gasket can be caused by a warped cylinder head, a warped block, improper sleeve height, or failed head bolts.
A stretched bolt can still be brought up to torque but will have lost enough strength so that it does not have the proper clamping force.

Any bolts that were looser than others when you took it apart need to be examined very closely for this problem.
Adjust the valves to specs given for the hot setting. That is fine for anything above room temperature.
