Question car only starts on second try after head swap

since I finished the head swap, the car will only start on the second try. I try to start it the first try and it won't turn over, try again and it starts up beautifully.

Check that your fuel pressure is holding (doesn't drop off). You can connect a fuel pressure gauge to the schrader valve fitting.
