replaced cylinder head after timing belt skip... replaced punched thru piston
all rings ...cleaned piston...honed cylinders...remanufactured head had crack in water jacker/ oil galley...got replacement. torqued to 22ft then two stages of 90 degrees in correct pattern. motor ran perfect with cracked head..but overheated. Now with new head ..motor will not stay running ..will rev to redline on startup for no reason...sputters..like it is missing,???

air supply vacuum leak or icv valve stuck open? don't really know but i had hunting idle and stalling problems and it was all air/ICV. that's not related to your recent repair tho.... no error (stomp) codes?

probably cracked rotor or missing the big o ring for the shell after youve removed rotor.
