Head gasket woes

My guess is the head bolts were either faulty...or not torqued sufficiently. One side blowing due to detonation maybe, but both sides.......

I have had ARP bolts too long, bottom out. Their QC leaves a lot to be desired....

Agree. Seems to me it’s got to be either the head torque, or possibly something to do with the mating surfaces being out of whack.
Where on each head did the gaskets let go?
