Just seems odd that the ONLY head gasket I ever blew was the Cometic with the ARP's. They don't work well on the CVH because the Block and Head are made from different materials. Ford didn't spec stretch bolts because it wanted the weaker option. LOL. They were spec'd to be correct to allow for the different expansion rates.
Trust me, my OEM gasket/bolts was doing just fine at 350bhp and 171mph.
