Yes there is a brand new head gasket in there.

There is still coolant coming out after the retorque and only on studs above the water jacket.
Only some of the nuts moved a little bit, if at all.
I also only had it get up to temp a few times before the retorque. Should I maybe just try to retorque after more heat cycles?

I am unsure if I have the rolled or cut threads.
If the threads are rolled would they be rolled on the block side as well as the head side or just the block?
I ask because I know it is going ti be a pain to get the studs out as the machine shop i took it to said they tried but were unable to get any of them loose.
If they need thread sealer I am not sure I will be able to even get them out.

I want to do this right, not just put a bandaid on the problem.

Attached the most detailed photo I could find of the studs.
