Simple thing to do is check the head with a machinist's rule or similar flat, straight edge. If you don't have one, have your local machine shop check it out for you. As Gene has suggested, have it re-surfaced if in doubt. it does not cost that much, and eliminates any question on warping. Also, having it magnafluxed is not a bad investment either.
If the head is NOT warped, install the following way.
1.) Block and head mating sufaces need to be clean, down to bright metal.
2.) coat both block and head with a LIGHT coating of the sealer of your choice, and both sides of the head gasket. LIGHT coat, just covering each surface. I prefer the Permatex Copper coat, but everyone has different opinions and preferences.
3.) install gasket and head. torque head down incrementally, using tightening sequence. As previously noted, the torque specs have been upped from 60 lbs. to 80 lbs.
4.) start engine. Bring up to operating temperature. Shut engine off, and while still warm, re-torque head.
5.) Enjoy your new, non-leaking head gasket.
Other's may have a different technique, but this works for me consistently......
