It was rebuilt before I bought it and what seems to have happened is that the person milled the heads, but didnt have the cam rests bored. As a result the straight cams were running on warped rests and the first time I stressed the engine the gaskets blew. The block was perfectly straight thank God. The heads we put on are purchased rebuilt ones, not the old ones "fixed".
