cometic head gasket issue

71Duster said
Don @ FBO used cometic head gaskets on the engine he built for me he said its normal for them to leak coolant awhile untill they have seen sufficiant heat. And true enough the more times I drove the car the better it got untill it doesn't leak.

But the type of finish on the heads and deck was importent as well

Did you re-torque the head bolts after the intial heat cycle? I know you shouldn't have to with MLS, but seems odd they would leak initially, then reseal after time. I've always heard good things about Cometic.
