Try a copper head gasket,spray paint it prior to install.Do not overtorque it can distort the deck.Run a cathode (waste metal) if your head is aluminum.If the deck is pitted in the leak area I've had luck filling the pits with quality RTV,a very light smear..compression is not the issue.Resist the desire to use stop leak,
