Have you re-torqued the head, and did you have the head skimmed and pressure tested

The head was skimmed and generally overhauled. It was professionally fitted. The car runs great when I have managed to get it going in recent weeks but at the moment all it is doing is turning without firing.

It's steam coming out of the exhaust, do a compression test
