If you are considering changing the head gasket you might check the torque on your head first, especially if you've changed head gaskets.

loctite on the bolts to keep them from loosening.

that has been the general consensus fix proposed several years ago without complaints of failure as a fix.
SO its not a tear in the gasket, its most likely the IM bolts backing out?
