Today I turned the original head screwes up to >65 foot/lbs; I don't trust the screws any more. It has gotten a little bit better, but it's not good.
This modern seal is not good for me and I will choose the well-known copper seal again in the future.

Hi Werner, there is another string going about the modern gasket, in case you have not seen it here it is. Talks about using water/no antifreeze for the 1st thousand miles , or perhaps till the head gasket stops seeping. Maybe worth a try?
