New head ? OR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, brand new second hand ?

And did you check/replace the valves and the stem oil seals before fitting it ?

Check the oil return pipe (Turbo to Sump) common fault pipe only needs a slight blockage of carbon or crud, then restricts flow as its only gravity fall, other symptom if it does smoke alot when you rev it on tickover, if its thick black smoke, then Oil seals in the Turbo are shot.
Repair cost for a strip down, clean/decoke/re-fit new seals, + rebuild. Your looking at £250 + vat
