Water pressure will not force the thermo open. The thermostat drops down toward the coolant flow when it opens. When you had the head surfaced,how much was taken off versus how thick of gasket. Did it let you keep the same compression,is the distance between when the piston starts igniting fuel and the head stay the same? That's all things that could possibly screw with the engine creates and manages heat and makes power.
