Head gasket should go on dry and block and heads checked for warping first. Otherwise it’ll leak or worse crack the heads.

Inlet manifold gaskets have a copper heat shield around a water jacket, these can come loose and move blocking the jacket restricting flow.  Easy job to  remove and check the inlet gasket

Thats a question I was going to ask. With the inlet manifold gasket--  Does the copper heat shield side face down against the heads or face up against the inlet manifold??   Maybe I put it on upside down.
