Way back Tim H. @ ND sold me a "Cut Ring" head gasket.  This is a gasket 
where the cylindrical ring around the block/head junction is a machined ring 
of steel, the rings have a taper to it which "bites" into the head and block 
when the head is torqued down.  This forms a continuous solid seal all 
around.  It was a beautiful design.  I had to return it due to my block 
having a different oil return port.  Don't know if this type of gasket is 
still available.  Call your favorite parts source.
