Bad machine work? Maybe head surfacing equipment setup wrong?

Yea and the heads could have been torqued incorrectly in sequence or torque values. Shoddy work no matter which way you slice it. Although Jake thinking he is a racecar driver doesnt help.

Make sure you check the head and the block to make sure they are flat. Straight edge (a level works good in a pinch) and feeler gauges.

Anyone know if arp's require a hot retorque?

Not if you use the ARP lube on install. Or if they have been used once already, they have already stretched.

Beside the HGs, did you find out why they blew? Were the studs torque cycled?

im guessing the hiccup and back pressure at 120mph is not a good combo.

Yes!!!!!!

this was the first time doing this on a 7.3.... even though there was only 7000ish miles on these gaskets, how easily should the heads and gaskets came off when I pulled it apart?
