Did you get the leak down test done? You need to find the area before tearing into it again, Yes, all will have to be replaced again. No gasket sealers and new head bolts again.

How will I beable to tellon the leak down test because it is not leaking into the engine cylnder only between the coolent ports and oil ports and the outside of the engine so coolent systen pressure test willonly force coolent into the oil?
But if I put it on dry wont it do the exsact same thing agine?

Thats why you need a shop to do it as they use a dye to find the leak.
