this job is straight forward and almost never causes problems when done right.

the fact your leakage is from both sides and not spot specific leads me to wonder if the torque values are correct

imo you are looking at redoing this job.

reinz gaskets are quality.

this presumes you know from your own eyes the head is flat within factory limits.

also did you torque your bolts in the correct order?
