Competition are they any good anymore-O-rings?

[GOTSOOT]

Installed headgasket with O-ringed head and helper left two rear studs loose, and the rest torqued to 110#`s. water bubbled out of the rear of the head. I did not find the loose studs till i started to pull it back down again to find out what the problem was. Should I go ahead and get a new H/G ? :{ and do the wires in the head have to be replaced?

If you already started to pull the studs then do a gasket. No you dont have to redo the o-rings. What brand studs did you install? I have a set of Haisleys and torque them to 125ftlbs. Retorque hot per Haisleys recomended instuctions.
