Default b20v head gasket issue

hey i built a b20v setup bored to 84.5mm because it was b20/v i used a cometic gasket because of the different dowel pin sizes. since i have used this gasket i have had a lot of head gasket issues. now before installing this gasket i had the head resurfaced and the block decked. the motor is fresh out the machine shop. the car overheats randomly its like i can't keep coolant in the car. the car doesnt smoke and there is no coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant. so if the gasket is still leaking then it is a very slow leak. I have arp head studs in the motor that are torqued correctly. do you think that the cometic gasket is the problem or do i have to pull the block and have it resurfaced again? if it's the gasket, what gasket should i use?
