What brand head gaskets are you using and what does the manufacturer recommend? When I installed my EAB heads I used Best gaskets. They recommended a spray on sealer. Permatex I think but not positive. No leaks and I did seal the head bolts using Permatex #2 per the machinist who rebuilt the short block. Again, no leak issues. JMO
