Bob,
Just a quick note. While I have never used two gaskets myself I have heard
that it is a practice to be avoided. Back in my hotrod days when we used to
fool around with engines quite a bit I was tempted to use two gaskets to
bring down the compression on an engine I'd bought. The engine rebuilder
told me that was a sure way to blow head gaskets. Could this have been
your problem from the beginning?
My solution at the time was to use a single, extra thick gasket that was
available from the speed shop. Not sure if such a thing is available for a
T-series.
Could you live with the 9.6 : 1 ? You're going to run premium gas anyway,
I'm sure.
