Locate the gasket very accurately on the head and see if the fire ring hangs over anywhere.
Then locate the gasket on the block and check for the same.
If it hangs out, it won't work. The cure is a different head.
If it hangs out on the block, try a different gasket.
I have used the standard copper gasket several times with a 4.030 bore race engines.
