Unstoppable Coolant Leak

If you think it is a "angle problem" how are you gong to correct it? I dont see changing the angle of the head surface very easily. That would mean correcting the angle on the intake manifold.
If it is that fair off there is no sealer on the planet that going to fix it, I never was a fan of stacking gaskets thats just a crutch.
Partner its your time and money but IMO you are chasing your tail.
It will be interesting to see which path you go down.
Good luck

I'm not saying the intake being cranked down is THE problem, but if I can spend five minutes (and no money) and loosen a few bolts and it stops leaking I'll call it good. If that doesn't work, I'll continue digging. Next step would be to pull the intake and actually measuring things out and if I need to take something to the machine shop I will. Like I said, I feel like it's an angle problem that's being exacerbated by being overtorqued. No certainty in that at the moment, but it makes sense to me and it's worth a shot. Don't see how I'd be chasing my tale with that.
