Not really related to the leaking water but you didn't put your thermostat in the neck that the upper radiator hose goes to?

Shouldn't be the valve covers, if you take them off completely it still shouldn't leak water. They only deal with oil. Intake is dry (no coolant goes thru it) so it does sound like the headgasket(s)
