Ryan, absolutely agree. The solution was the right LENGTH head studs, summit actually sent me some that were too short threaded,( even though they swore they sent me the right ones...) the nuts were bottoming out on the stud making the torque readings show 90ft/lbs when it was actually on the stud and not the head....Long story short, I doubled up on the ARP hardened washers and no more problems...talk about aggrevating though, I took it apart 3 times before I figured it out.
