Does anyone know of any good/reliable replacement fasteners and the proper torque specs for them in this application to stop this from happening? I know someone offers a kit with the metal gasket and new fasteners but I didn't see torque specs.

i used the upgraded hex bolts that came with my eps gaskets kit, conceptzperformance also sells the same style kit and fasteners. these allow you to accurately torque each fastener. i torqued mine to 12 ft-lbs and added lock tight for insurance.

So you replaced the whole gasket or just the fasteners?
