I have purchased a full set of mild steel to test this out but just curious as this only started after stainless was used i just didn't think it would get hot enough.

I have just got the original ford gasket with stainless steel bolts and there has never been any leaks on mine. I cant see why the stainless steel ones would make it leak.
