Pull the head back off and get some 220-grit wet/dry sandpaper and a very good true flat surface like a tempered glass panel. Lay the paper on the flat surface and hold it. Place the gasket surface of the head on the sandpaper and slowly scrub it around to sand the gasket surface. Look at the gasket surface and you will see the results of high and low spots.

Sand it until it is nice and level all across. The old head gasket should be fine unless it lost some face material, if so, replace it. Reinstall the head and torque the bolts down equally in three steps to spec. Button it back up and adjust everything and run it to see if problem is resolved.

The next possible issue is the crank case breather has failed. It is rare, but it can happen.
I pulled thre head and sanded it for 1.5hrs. All by hand on tempered glass. It’s mostly smooth, except area outside bolt pattern that is pitted a bit but nice inside. Used 220 (5 sheets) w duct tape on the corners and one sheet of 600. Seemed to work better with some penetrating oil on the paper but shortened the life of paper and tape. I kept alternating the direction. All polished smooth. Waiting on new head gasket, old one separated
