All I can add-
Get it hot and try pressurizing #6 at TDC compression. (basically, do a hot leakdown test)
My not- very- clever vote would be a crack somewhere which
only opens up when hot.
Is the head corroded?
I once put together an M10 that had corrosion in a water jacket that breached into a head bolt hole,
and only did it hot. Eventually, it left a trail on top of the head where coolant escaped from under the washer.
If you can't find anything else, yes, I'd try a different head. Especially if the gasket seal this time looks good as well.
Pictures always help, too, as sometimes a picture sees in ways eyes don't...

now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george gravesComment

tried this thing (link) into your expansion tank lid? if, no try it. -25 inHg of vacuum will find your crack or wherever the coolant ig going.
