Lawrie,

  Now, I have questions.  

  How can you tell if a blown head gasket is the result of the head
being reinstalled using "weak" studs?  

  Supposing you find a stretched stud in an engine that came in with a
blown head gasket; how can you tell if it was stretched before the last
installation or during the last installation?

  Cheers,

  CR
