I have a lq9 with l92 heads. I'm using gm gaskets for the lq9 wirh arp heads studs. I keep blowing gaskets. Torque is 70 ftlbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Have you had the block surface checked as well as the heads resurfaced? That would be the first thing I would look at!

Block was a running motor so I did not resuface it the heads were resurfaced. I'm useing the mls gaskets. And only motor for now. Engine temps never above 160 and its carburated.
