Default Got a problem

I posted this on Badrap and i just wanted to ask you all as well, see if u guys have any ideas

About 3 weeks ago, i bent 2 valves! took the head off, got it fixed. When i went to put the Head back on, everything went fine, I TQ'd it down to the proper specs in a proper order with a brand new felpro gasket. Now im leaking coolent, like crazy into Cyl.# 5 and into my oil(alot of it in the oil!!!!!!!)

does anyone have an sugestions of what it might be before i take it to a mechanic. Tony told me it might be the fact that i didnt put sealer on the threads of the head bolts, which im gonna go tuesday.(btw thanks to tony for taking time out of his saturday to come over and help me out for a bit!!!) If it is something little then ill do it myself and save the money but frankly, im sick of messing with it and very, very frustrated!

thanks for your help,
Donnie

did you smooth it out before you put the new gasket on, and could the gasket be upside down?

The car doesnt overheat, it has an excelent cooling system so i ruled that out right away, The gasket is on right, i believe, but that is a possability
