ARP head bolt studs and nuts go to 80 ft/lbs, I think. I used the gasket supplied by EB (Rock, if I remember correctly). New Topline head supplied by EB. I cleaned the block. There was some warpage to the block deck, but it didn't seem to be out of line.

What did you torque the HG down to? I always go 65-68 ft-lbs.
Seems to hold better.
What gasket did you use? I presume it was a new head? Did you clean the block deck thoroughly?
Some hold longer than others, it seems <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
