Slight head Gasket leak 0n1990 240

Head gasket time. Most likely the head and/or the gasket have corroded and no amount of tightening will help. Have repaired more than five leaking in same place. Have had to have a couple of heads repaired because corrosion had eaten DEEPLY into the head. Fix is grind out rot, weld up hole left from grinding,and resurface head. Or get a used head. Have a machinist check head, some corrosion you maybe able to get by with. Good luck,rcs
