Eric told me to tq mine to 75 no more and there holding great. i would think if you over tq them you will get the boltpart of the head bowing in and the middle of the cylander on the head higher. but im no expert.

I would start at 12* and work your way up.
Are you using a progressor? or spraying it all right out of the hole?

Heavily coat the gaskets in hylomar. Then procede to Tq and Loosen those gaskets 4-5 times. Yes Copper gaskets need alot more TQ to deform around the wire lock. At least 85-90 lb ft. I would suggest the Loosen and Re TQ scheme 4-5 times and make sevral final TQ checking passes. Mind you use lots of Moly lube on the headstud threads.

We just got back from the track and we set timing at 14 degrees all was going good mine you the car was more lazy with the timing out.We then started to pill it up thinking leave timing out and creep up with the tuneup.As soon as we pilled up to a 33 we then pushed water about half gallon.I know this is not right and maybe the gaskets are to thin (40 tho) heads went through the normal heat cycle and were retorqued.This pushing water is getting old and we are not going to make any more power if we can't keep the heads on the motor.

Is it time for a bigblock yeat!!!I know if we can keep the heads down we wil be able to run with some of the 500+ cube guys without a problem.If i bulid a new motor i will be going through W2W and it will be a world block but before i bulid that i want to know if im going to limit myself again to a motor that will have the same problem.I love the LSX motors but if i can't make power due to pushing water then this setup is pretty useless.

Tq the sutds up to like 105 lb ft.
Those heads can take it and as long as the block is Iron it'll take it.

I think you hit the nail on the head if the gaskets are protruding into the chamber. That would almost certainly cause a hot spot at the gasket edge which would cause detonation.

Are you running 11mm or 1/2 studs ? The other thing you may want to do is grab some pictures of the plugs and the old gaskets and post them up here. I would love to have a look see.
Also did you Tq and loosen the heads sevral times before final TQ ?

Thats what i was told also..... N2O is violent.....
I know im a boosted car.... but i would lift the heads and push that much also....... heads would lift 6-7 times and finally blow the gasket.... not o-ringed though....
Like i said above im in the process of doing it now.... looks like you talked me into 1/2" studs....

That sucks man.......
Well either BBC time or LSX... id say wait and see what some do with the LSX stuff with the 6 bolt heads and you have almost all the parts except the heads and some bolts.........
