Mikael,
I did find the problem today. One of the brandnew TFS heads are warped !!! 0.25 mm (0.01") - I just don't get it. The engine has NEVER been hot, and the ARP bolts are tightend per description. So I have to get the heads maschined, and assemble it all Again with new and better gaskets. Just got an email from Dan Jones, and he recommend Victor-Reinz 3502SG head gaskets. Maybe I should try them ?
