Dude man, Ive got the same problem. Ive got everything on order to replace my gasket as we speak.

I was told not long ago, when rebuilding a motor, you ALWAYS use fresh headbolts. I was also told, the headbolts will stretch...thats why you dont reuse them.

CT Racing sells there "special" headbolts for 80 bucks a set. Ive had a bad experience with them and refuse to do business with them ever again.

Ive got a complete gasket set, rings and stock bolts on order. Hope that fixes the problem.
