ok. much thanks!

my problem is.. i drove with my engine round about 500km.. after then ive got exhaust gas in the cooling whater circulation. i took an new headgasket.. torqued the ARP bolts with 120NM.. so i drove about 800km.. and ive got again exhaust gas in my whater circulation. so the exhaust gas press out the cooling whater and my engine will running to hot.. so i cant understand this.. my cylinder head and engine block ist new grindet

What kind of managment are you runnning? Is the engine properly tuned?

The S38 gasket has never caused us any problems. We have dynotested a car to 1000+ hp.

yes. weve grindet head and block new!

i drove the last 1300km with just 0,6 bar pressure.. but next week, the engine will dynoed.

if i got the last time problems with the wather/exhaust gas, the ARP bolts between 4th and 5th cylinder was loose.. i retoqued it.. cause i needet an half rotation for 120NM torque..

Is your engine correctly tuned?

If the bolts are not tightened the right way you can't expect the gasket to seal as it should.
