Just detune, you will be pissed once you sell it. I have no job or money and i wont sell mine, just stop running so much boost and don't beat on it. play it smooth, thats what i am doin, i got a 68 Plymouth Road Runner, that i beat the snot on, but now i got no money to put into it so i im gonna have to just driver slow and easy like an ole fart. same with my cummapart.

From the looks of the gasket, I'm guessing boost and timing.
I'm gonna pull the plate back, put the afc back together, adjust it, hook up the gate again, and take the timing down to about 15.

That "should" do it! Well at least I'm hoping it does!
just because you got them back from the machine shop dont mean much. i have gotten 3508 head back from a machine shop that were screwed like .01" off, depends on how well the shops machines are. i would check them. or it could be the roughness of the surface. cummins wants a curtain RA (or finish) for best results

i have hit 55lbs of boost on my truck never put a head gasket or studs on it, and i have 200,000 miles. i try not to boost it above 35 most of the time to be safe

I'll have them checked by another shop, if they are off looks like I get a free decking, cause they said they both were 100% flat.
