 Did you coat the gaskets with oil before installing? To most people that sounds like opposite of what they think they should do, but the oil coat allows the gasket to move into place while the bolts are being tightened. If you try to tightening it dry, the gasket can't move into place and typically sticks before it can get into place. Remember, stiction is your foe. Otherwise you probably have a surface issue to check out; something could be bent, warped, cracked or uneven.
