3 head gaskets in 200 miles? That alone says something. Did you put a steel straight edge on the block? Resurfacing the head sometimes isn't enough. If the block is gone....

Anyway, I"m assuming that you know to use goop on a new seal for that motor. The assembly and torque specs are very involved, I think that the manual calls for four separate tightening sequences to set the gasket.
