head lifting
Is it possible to lift a head gasket with only 6 psi of boost? Took the head gaskets off car and they looked ok. But they were the graphite gaskets. The middle row of bolts were tight but not as tight as the bottom set. Could have this caused it to lift? The shop that did my head and cam swap does NASCAR motors just wondering if they messed up because everything else looks ok. Had heads checked and they checked out fine. Block was checked also it was fine. Thanks

I bought new ones but at the time I hired a local shop to do the work! The bottom bolts were very tight middle ones were not that tight I turned them without help. I'm thinking they used troque for ARP bolts instead of GM bolts. I now have head studs to put back in it!
