Head gasket getting oval?

Yea, Cometic's might do the trick, but I think that after 3 times of of throwing head gaskets at it, granted it was the same gasket, maybe it's time to look at other possibilities. You're saying cheep Fel-Pro gaskets are at fault; I don't know that for certain; I do know that if I threw $150.00's worth of gaskets at it and it still did the same thing, I'd be more than just a little pi$$ed.

I don't think 100 ft-lb is excessive for head bolts; back in 08 was the last time I torqued a set of heads down, don't remember what value I torqued them to, they were though, a set of Eddies using ARP bolts.
