Ok got my head to a machinist. He said that i didnt clean the head and block surfaces which left imperfections and allowed coolant to penetrate the cylinder. Also I used the wrong thread sealant. I will go back this time with the Permatex with Teflon. Lastly he suggested that i hit the gasket with primer. Ill have to ask him the specifics when i go pick up my head. The wet paint adheres to the block for a better seal i believe. It was warped a few thousands which will be milled off.
