Before putting any engine back together when doing head gaskets, it is always advisable to have the heads and block checked for warpage and cracks. (don't know if you did or not). Additionally, I try to find the fattest head gaskets available, to provide a bit more cushion. At the point you are at, You need to see if there is any coolant in the oil (likely), then try to find out which side it's coming from, so you don't have to remove both heads again.
Other option is to re-torque heads, going over factory value by about 5pounds, to see if the head will pull down. (possible but not definite)
Other option is to send it to the scrapyard...I have often noted that once overheated, those engines become a "rolling problem factory", therefore I would not think it was a terrible idea.
Or, you might want to experiment and try one of those exotic block sealers that are available...may be interesting to see if it works or not.
Sad part is that if the manufacturers would use a better grade of aluminum and put some zinc back into iron castings, most cracks and warpage could be held to a rarity...nice dream isn't it?
Good luck, whatever choice you make!!
