Always, I repeat always, turn the engine over by hand after it has been reassembled. You could have easily avoided this and potential damage to the valves, cylinder, piston, and cylinder head by turning it over with a socket on the crank.

I turned it over many times with a ratchet and never heard the piston hitting the cylinder head. Even after I started it and realized I had a problem I couldn’t get it to make the noise by hand cranking or even using the starter.

If you use the stock head gasket, make sure it's not too small for your big bore kit. Set it on there and make sure it doesn't protrude into the cylinder area. That can cause a new set of problems from hot spots to not sealing correctly.
