230 Leaking oil at head/block

[m38inmaine]

I figured I would post a new thread as some may not be following my restoration thread. I started and ran/test drove the truck today. I have oil leaking from the head/block seam on both sides of the engine, both leaks seem to be about midway more toward the front. Curious if anyone has experienced this kind of oil leak ? I my try a head re torque, the head gasket as far as I know is the original and the engine has sat for a long time.

If I do end up replacing the head gasket I have two styles of gaskets, one is metal and the other is fiber with metal around the cylinder holes. Curious which might be the best one to use

Thanks
UPDATE
I tried re torquing but no movement on the bolts so I figure it would be best to go ahead and change out the head gasket. I also think I am going to use the fiber head gasket as it's a bit thicker and I think it will seal better.

Make sure to get the right gasket,a civilian one will leak. I bought my truck with a uninstalled rebuilt engine . It leaked at the right front corner. Thanks to Barrman I got leak patched.

I have the correct gasket kit, thank you for the advice.

Can you post a photo-rich post of the procedure? I am about to remove my cylinder head to send it to the machine shop and I would like to see photos of the process. I am very familiar with working on engines and I have read the FSM on the issue. That being said, I also know that this could be a somewhat quirky engine.

OK I will try, I started today with not so good luck. I decided to take out the two special 11/14 bolts first so I would not mix them up, I was using my Makita 1/2 impact and just barely pulled the trigger and the head of 14 just came off like butter. I used a ratchet after that to remove the rest, I also had one bolt that was loose, guess what ? the bolt was snapped off at the threads so it looks like one drill/tap and the other should come out with vice grips, luckily I have a parts engine I can get the bolts from. I plan on taking the head off tomorrow and will picture how I am doing it.

Ok. Thanks. Do you plan on having a machine shop rebuild the head (valve guides, stem seals, etc.)? If so, DO NOT LET THEM RESURFACE (a/k/a "deck") THE HEAD. IT WILL RUIN IT.
