This is key especially when you are running Aluminium heads. Be sure and use a little RTV around the water ports on your heads on both sides of your gaskets. Just a tiny amount on tour finger and wipe it around the openings on the head and block. Also, don't forget about the gasket orientation.
I found this to be a huge advantage on FE's.
