could be a bunch of things that caused that leak without seeing it in person. Liked u mentioned make sure everything is cleaned with a degreaser before laying the gasket down. Another tip are you torqueing the head bolts? should be tq them I believe its 14pounds and do it in a star pattern to achieve a even placement. With that I hand tighten the 4 main head bolts in star pattern then once then start getting some tension I tighten down the 2 side guide bolts, then go back to the 4 main bolts and tq them down.
