Did you send these heads out to a machine shop for testing and reconditioning?

If you used factory reconditioned heads, I would say it would have to be either a difference in the heads, torques incorrectly, defective heads or a problem with the Intake Manifold gasket.

I have no idea. Somebody missed something and someone is going to have to find it.
