    I haven't used them but it's possible the head and/or cylinder is warped.

    i have never had this problem but if u do u prolly didn't tighten the head enuf,most of the time i torque mine then ride it a few times then recheck them. also check to make sur that the gaskets has a good surface to seal on

    Mine did the same thing. I re-tightened them about 5 Lb-ft more then stock and the problem went away.

    it's where they true the gasket surface up to return it to a flat position. has to be done by a machine shop on a milling machine.
