head gasket
 

i cant keep head gaskets in my truck to save my life... any advice welcome... really interested in someone with knowledge on copper gaskets???? :argh::argh::argh::se::hang:

get some head studs that will help

Have the head and block checked out for warpage also.

ya definatly do that, easy to do with a long straght edge and feeler guage, the heads warp easy if to much heat

just had head completely machined and i have head studs...

anybody have any input... and thanks guys...:argh:

So noone has any ideas???

Are you doing re-torque after a few heat cycles? What are you are you bringing your studs to? 125ftlbs? Letting the truck warm up before boosting it?

/me moved

shop installed it last time i did it this time going to 140lbs warms every time 5 mins before moving then to 200 degrees before any boosting.. every time..
:argh:

I would say you have a straightness issue or the sequence in which your tightning the studs is incorrect. Are you using moly lube on the studs and washers before torque?
