Thanks to all who responded. All useful stuff.
Jmac, I like your thinking about the use of stock type gaskets and the "relief valve" approach to them.
The motor we are running now has flat tops and .060 over bore so we are getting quite good compression now compared with our old motor which only had those standard dished jobbies. That motor was more a set and forget type setup that was reliable meeting after meeting. Now it is making more power so everything is a bit more stressed including the head gasket.Once Ive checked the valve lash we'll decide what to do but I'm about 95% convinced at this stage we will pull the head to make sure all is well.
