If your engine has head studs, it is essential that all rust or gasket debris be removed from around them, right up to the stud itself. In the case of bolts, they need to be in good condition and the bolt holes must be clean clear to the bottom of blind holes and sealer needs to be used on any bolts or stud threads that go into holes that reach the water jacket. Usually, at least some of them do.
