I have been doing some reading on the mls head gaskets and you need a very smooth surface on both the block and cylinder head. The cylinder head looks to have a visual imperfection in the area it leaked from but it feels smooth. I think I am going to have both the block and head redone very smooth as well as the heads magnafluxed.
