take head off and get it checked at engineering firm make sure no cracks or warped (skim if neccesary) then clean face of block where head bolts on clean out bolt holes wd40 and use clean rag on screwdriver to clean out then 800 wet dry sandpaper on surface then finnish with wire wool hoover all holes and surface and wipe down with clean rag before fitting head tighten (you get a diagramme of which bolts order to tighten with head gasket) torque settings are use new bolts (1) 40Nm (2) 60Nm (3) plus 90 degrees (4)plus 90 degrees best of luck
