Steve the way we rebuild the old engines is a little different to what the book calls for. Aluminum paint is better on the headgasket than coppercoat. Don't be stingy with it put a good coat on the block, gasket, and head. Let the paint start getting tacky then install the head as usual. Follow your torque sequence and torque the head to specs. When you have the engine back together crank it and let it idle but cover the radiator with cardboard or a blanket and bring the engine temp up as the engine idles. When the engine is up to normal operating temp shut it off. Now loosen each head bolt (one head bolt at a time in sequence) 1/2 round and retorque to spec while the engine is still hot. I would bet you did'nt have a problem to start with if you had known how to do it. The old engines are simple enough to work on but the repair manuals don't cover fine tweaks.
