head rise
ok so i have a turbo 81.5 b16 using arp head studs, at 7 psi i have blown three headgaskets 2 oem/golden eagle and one cometic. I am torquing my arp headstuds to 85 ft/lbs with moly lube. Everytime i have replaced the gaskets i check for flatness with a straight edge and everything seems to be kosher, i have now pulled the motor and am separating it to get the block decked/ head milled just to be on the safe side. is there anything i am doing wrong/not doing so that when i put everything back together i will not have this problem again

Re: head rise (mike@synapse motorsport)
ok so here are the pics of the plugs, these are the plugs from the first two oem/ ge headgaskets, they are in no particular order and no coolant in combustion chamer
these are the pics from the most recent cometic headgasket, again they are in no particular order and there was coolant in cylinder number one, and they were used for about two hours before the incident

You might want to consider getting a new set of studs as yours are probably stretched....bad.
