Greetings, I had gasket replaced 3 years ago with a head over-haul. Doing the gasket now myself with new bolts. Is another trip to the machine shop advisable after 30K and 3 years? Are there any reported issues with bolts bottoming out after a 'skim' job? Previous job does not seem to be down tight enough with build up and blow over between #2 & #3; and #3 & #4. Bolt holes were pretty dirty, bolts were original, so maybe this was the issue. Any comments appreciated.
