This is expressly stated by Steve Demirjian of Race Engine Development who re-sleeved the block for Steve Rupp. Between Dick and I we must have asked the shop that dyno'd the car to be sure to re-torque the head bolts half a dozen times. The last time Dick asked, they said they checked a bunch of them and they were tight. What the hell does that mean??? I wouldn't be so upset, except for the fact that in this scenario it is hard to imagine the head gaskets failing for any other reason...
Good news is that it doesn't look like I have water in my oil.

FCUK...!!! You know how I feel about that Matt. Remember all the smoke at the gas station? How wierd was that?
Hope the repair goes quick Bro. At his point I'd check everything. JR knows what he's doing...
