Any chance that maybe you could go back and re-torque the bolts again? Maybe when it got warm something wiggled its way loose? Did you check the heads and the block to see that they were nice and flat using a steel ruler? It isn't like having the block or heads "surfaced" but at least you can look for irregularities... Another possibility is that something small got dropped between the first and second head as you were dropping it in place?

Wish I had more to offer.
