spyder are you making sure that you are torquing down the head bolts evenly. You should do it in a star pattern doing each one evenly. Even after you have done them evenly you should double check them starting over on the first screw. If you haven't put the glo plug back in there will be virtually no compression. Also make sure you have the backplate very tight.

Did you remember to put the gasket shim back in? It probably had one of these attached to the bottom of the cooling head.

It's hard to tell what your saying in that last post.

But, if you have a bolt stuck and stripped the head of the bolt so the screw driver slips, you can drill the heads off the bolts. Take a drill with a bit in it that's the same size as the bolt head. Drill into the bolthead and the head of the bolt will come off. You should be able to lift the engine head off the engine and remove the bolt stubs sticking up with a pair of visegrips or pliers.
