is your block warped? or any kind of warping?

 

what headgasket did you put in? check the block for warpage, and did you use new head bolts(which bolts did you use), and how did you torque them?

thats what i was wondering....... also were they torqued in the right pattern?

 

just got done taking it back apart.i did torque everything to spec in sequence.headgasket and block head everything all good..some how i manage to strip a couple of the holes on the block the first time.i sent it to the machine shop to get it fixed(200 bux) but it didnt workafter running the motor for about 10 minutes i guess it worked its way loose...its totally stripped again(this **** sux!!!!!!!!!!)gotta see if i could get my money back now form the machine shop...

 

did they helicoil it or something??
