Hi Tony,
I would check the head for bow or irregularity with a straight edge and even if it appears alright, still get it refaced by a machine shop. It is common for the heads to warp. When you renew the gasket, re-torque after a short period. Torque figures are in the TM, they differ for nuts and studs.

The leak in to the cylinders could have come from the small hole between the two wet cylinders, not a lot of sealing surface there.

regards, Richard
