All cylinders filling with water

I have a feeling it was a stud issue. Not compressing tthe gasket properly. I honestly do not know what brand head gasket is being used. The guy that did my machine work handed them to me this morning and said "here, use these they are much better than the Felpro`s"

The reason I am waiting on torquing them.....I am be patient and letting everything settle in so to speak.

Head gasket thickness fine tunes the compression ratio. You should really know what you are using so you know where your true CR is.

At this point, I would take whatever your macinist says as a grain of salt. If he had any sense he wouldn't just say these are better than the Felpro's and hand them to you, he would explain WTH he just gave you.....:wack:
