The head gasked would seal the studs.

Not too shy to talk

I believe what he is talking about are the head studs they do go into the water. Yes you are to use Permatex No. 2 sealer on all of them then torque them. We used this Sealant a lot at Caterpillar on gasket joints like oil pans and front and rear housings . They say it sets up but does not get rock hard. When I got a few head studs from Max Merritt they said to use it as well. I had thought of this but since it had great compression on all 8 cylinders hot and cold I did not think it could get in a cylinder. Thanks for checking on Facebook.

And as Don mentioned the gasket should seal around the studs. If there were a leak you would see it at a head nut. I had one that was a little leaky until I had retorqued the head a couple of times. I don't think these would be the source of your issue. Hopefully your pressure test will reveal the problem!
