Need to replace headgasket

[zzlegend]

Walt, did you happen to use copper coat or any sealer on the head gasket? Also my son is just putting his together, even though it's a V8, but i told him to use a small dab of permatex number two on the threads of the bolts when screwing them in to the block. I know yours is a six but did you have the head bolts out, which i assume you did? I will try to give you a call tomorrow after i get back from a fellow rodder's barbecue. Mark.
