Hi Tippy! First of all there seems to be a lot of oil in the cylinders causing detonation. Nothing on earth will hold that. Secondly,what is your base gasket set up for deck height? Too many thick copper gaskets will crush too much. Everybody says the case halves dont have issues with head stud threads in the case. That may have been true 20 years ago but these can and will wear and pull. I have experienced it first hand. Time cert the case and you are good to go with arp studs. No head gasket required either.
