when you say you put loctite on the head gasket did you mean all over the head gasket? or just arond water/oil galleries?
If you did (put it all over) it's possible the high spots from the goo could cause a leak...
Also the head you put on could have extremly shit/leaking valve stems seals. Causing combustion pressure to get into the rocker cover/whole engine.
But yeah as the others said most likely cracked piston or stuffed rings. Does it make any funny noises?
Does it sound like it's running on all 4?
One last thing, is the PCV valve connected?
If not it could help.
BUT... no matter what it is, if you just wanting to drive it:
One way around this, which worked well on a kingswood i once owned (with a cracked piston) was to get a piece of rubber pipe, about the size of the oil cap hole, and put it in the oil cap hole instead of the cap, then direct the pipe into the air intake (i just put a hole in the air cleaner and shoved it in)
Basically the massive block pressures will be vented into the carby, so all the smoke and crap you would normally see gets burnt off.. This for me stopped the dipstick from shooting out of it's tube, and got me around for 4 months, and showed no sighn of stopping.. only reason i stopped driving it was cause i had an 8 to put into it.
If too much oil droplets blows thru the tube, get a longer piece of tube and spiral it round so the oil has time to fall out of suspension.. Oherwise a loosely packed piece of steel wool will allow the air/blow by to escape, and keep the oil in the engine.
Dodgy as hell, but it works.
