popping out the exhaust, longer cool down times, higher EGT's, less power, rough idle, popping out the intake... ... .....

Oil and coolant spewing out from between the head and block making a complete mess.

I'll second that and it dont always leak into the oil or outside the engine. it is possible to blow it between the cylinders (i know). #ad

Summit, did you blow that before you put the studs in?

No, after, should have done the third re torque and streched them a little better. one other culprit might have been too much added timing with the stacks creating more cylinder pressure.
