Thank you all for the input. And yes, I mistyped bolts for studs. It looks like the Snyder's B-6051-XO is the Best 509G I have read about and looks like the best choice.
I originally went for Fine-Point and had a copper clad gasket under my water neck with paper matches and still broke. I plan on paper with the matches this time. It is a new Brumfield head 5.9 likely so should be flat. I think I read that with the graphite gasket not to use copper spray but will confirm with Snyder's.
Thank you all again for the excellent advise as always.
