Something is wrong (obviously). Have you heard any backfires?
or does your fluid level go down at all?
Like Jerry says, using a feeler gauge or some such method to
be sure it's getting down flat would be in order.
What if you use no gasket as a test? Tighten to spec and see
if you can run a 0.001 flat gauge anywhere through the intakes
at #1.
The only other thing I can think of is uneven metal expansion
but can't think of any way this is possible unless a water passage is
partially blocked. This is truly a new one on me.
