I'm thinking my next go around build will be sending the block off to Darton to be sleeved, and get a machine shop to do 1/2" head studs. I've been having some cooling issues, trying to figure out if it's a gasket issue but we'll see, next time want to clamp that bastard as good as possible. What kind of HG are you going with? I went with a stock HR headgasket on my build but in hind site I'm thinking of going with like an HKS next time around. Granted if a sleeve sinks this is all moot, hopefully going to Darton directly will mitigate that.

to avoid leaking head gaskets make sure you take your heads to a machine shop to get them resurfaced..........and make sure they check the block piece of mind get the block decked/resurfaced also.
always get new headgaskets and whenever you remove your head for any reason you can never reuse your headgaskets period. can only be used 1 time.

Sucks!!!! I'm mean really who can you trust these days. It don't matter who it is. Unless you have equipment and know how to do that kinda work you don't know what they are doing. You just hope it's done right. But I know when u took it I. There soon as he seen the finish he said " not the right finish " took out the little book thing he had with all the finishes for all the types of HG and pointed Rt to it and said this is it. So yeah I got taken for a ride as well!!! Hope ya worked it out. Still dealing with it ? Or did you get it right?

I have a quick question off topic. CJM twin pump. Anyone know if I solder a 2.4k ohm resist in the the end to to tank temp wire. Do I just put the other end to ground?

I went with HR gaskets simply to put a 'weak link' in my build...but in reality, the best (or worst) head gaskets will not save you from a uneven block/head connection nor a bad tune!
