Re: Head gasket?
Definitely use a head gasket.
I have had better luck with the premium head gasket than the copper head gasket with the copper spray adhesive, part number B-6051-M. I have the 5.5 to 1 high compression head. The head and block must be flat and absolutely clean. I use a wire brush wheel on a drill motor and acetone for the final clean.
Using grease on gaskets is an old racer's trick, although I have never heard of it used on a head gasket before. The engines in race cars are torn down after each race day and the grease makes it easy to remove the gaskets.
