Torqued ARP studs to factory specs (62lb/ft), but it had a massive failure w/in 400 miles.

It was reused, got it from a friend because I needed one fast. (According to my friend) Cometic says you can reuse them if you use copper spray.

This was the first time i've had a head gasket fail after I installed it, and I've done more than I can count.
