originally i had the head off and noticed the gasket looked like it was about to blow in a certain location. I had an issue with the engine 6 months later. The engine had a miss. I removed the head and the new head gasket was blown in the same location. The block and head had been cleaned carefully before the last gasket was installed. Copper spray was also used It was also torqued 3 times before driving. and retorqued several times after driving over the next couple months. I spoke to the guy at the machine shop today and he said he would reconfigure his machine to surface the head. And he would not use the belt sander thanks for the replys
