Hi !
We have a few things that kills the head gaskets.
a) Incorrect torque/procedure for the head bolts.(remember to retighten bolts, use the new style bolts)
b) Engine that is knocking.
I have no problems with 9k 2.3l H/O applications at 350+ bhp with stock head gasket/bolts. Don't (normally) use copper head gaskets.
Do not use the B2x5 gasket on earlier engines.
Have to go to bed......long day tomorrow.
