Don't know, but does this engine have liners? If it does, have you checked for liner height?
Also check the deck for straightness - no point in trying to pull down a flat head onto a warped deck! Blocks can also have cracks.
Follow the gasket manufacturers advice on installing. They will advise whether to paint with paint, grease, or copper sealant or to install dry.
What I will say is that most of the gaskets which I have installed and leaked were all my fault. Not checking well enough, dodgy quality of gasket, ignoring warning signs, so check everything including gasket, make sure everything is in spec, follow the installation spec meticulously and you won't go wrong.
Last of all, get some advice from a well experienced rebuilder as to your tools, methodology etc as you do it, if you are not experienced at this sort of thing.
