Had a straight edge on the space between the cylinders. Head is ever so slightly warped so threw on a thicker gasket. Had to buy a torque wrench too 
money money.
Engines almost completely assembled now, have to bypass the heater matrix for now as the gti ones dont fit properly. Should be ready to fire up again tomorrow, just hope I dont get a repeat of the same problem, only thing it could be then is a badly warped head but as I said, if it'l last a month til I get paid I'll be happy.
Can anyone confirm my suspicions about the head gasket being away? It wasn't actually split but there were scorch marks between the cylinders, could this have allowed exhaust gases to pressurise the coolant when cranked?
