The winning combo was the blue FelPro gasket and the copper spray. Sprayed flanges and gasket (both sides), 15 minute wait to breath off the propellant, 1 day to set with bolt heads just touching the housing, torqued and waited 1 day before adding coolant.
No more coolant leak (for now).
still using chrome head?  It be back after one week..... :nana:

No chrome. Aluminum housing held down with ARP black 12pt bolts. I hate chrome, valve covers are always pissing me off when I see them.
