This could be a number of issues. Here is a guide that will help with getting us started:

Based on the fact that you just put the head gasket on it we need to start with checking the compression. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Then we are going to need to check spark and fuel but I suspect we will find something with the compression, so let us know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
