Sounds like whoever had it before didn't make sure to clean out the holes for the head bolts before they torqued them down. Just imagine the pressure involved when torquing down a bolt in a hole that has some oil in it etc. Long story short the block is theoreticly junk. If the motor is already in the car I just say run it till she blows.
