I agree with the head gasket not being correct for your application. It should match the profile block surface much more closely. Maybe this type is all that is available now.
Any type of sealer wouldn't have prevented this, I also agree possibly not retorqueing the head was possibly the cause.
Liner protrusion is increased or decreased by machining the block surface directly below the liner lip. Determine what IH recommends for liner protrusion above block deck, measure (mike) your new ( or used) liners, then measure top deck of block to bottom surface of liner bore at four spots on each cylinder, this average will give you whether to machine the top deck surface of the block and recut the liner depths to match, or if they are still within limits, and can be used as is. At your measurement of .003 & less I would say this would be acceptable as is.
