$70! Is that a nissan price or datsport price, they do vary quite a bit.

 Re: the damage
Seems you replace them pretty regularly. They would need to be an 'easy fit'

Good effort.

Is this the one you put in about a month ago??? You'd be getting pretty good at it by now

 Re: the damage
In general, to avoid this kind of problem:
- Don't use Easy-Fit/Printo-Seal gaskets
- Clean *all* grease and gasket residue from block deck and head surface. Use ether to clean the surface. It should be absolutely dry with no oil on it
- Torque the head bolts in the factory-recommended three stages
- If your non-A-series engine requires new head bolts, don't reuse the old ones (they are designed to stretch)
- Use a torque wrench to torque to specifications

And most importantly for some of you guys:
- Turn down the boost!
