i didnt know you werent supposed to use sealer on the head gasket. I did not use RTV silicone but instead another type of permatex specifically for gaskets that my mechanic friend told me i needed to use.
And when i torqued the bolts I followed the correct sequence to 22 ft lbs, 36 ft lbs, and the final extra 90 degrees.
SO maybe the permatex is in there screwing everything up.
I cranked the engine over by hand and each time a cylinder goes into compression you can hear the air escaping back out....hopefully through the head gasket and not the rings.
I guess it wont be that hard to buy another head gasket and bolt set and do it all over again.
