Your probably not doing anything wrong. You just have a head gasket that crushes to .045
So you either have a .005" cusion and you go to sleep knowing teardown will be a breaze or you find another brand of gasket. Often times it takes finding a set of OEM gaskets.
Don't forget, your deck height can be adjusted to the gasket thickness (as it deviates from NHRA specs).
