Many questions need to be asked here!
What type of head gaskets where they!
What type of heads are we talking about here, if iron heads then what casting number?
I have used the common Fel Pro 1016 gaskets even on a supercharged motor running 8 to 10 PSI of boost without issue for years!
What cylinders had water in them, two right next to each other?
Why the heck are you running water in the first place?
The gaskets may not look blown inbetween the cylinders, but I can pretty much guarantee you that the high temps are the cause of a head gasket leak, the only question I have is what made for the 230 degree temp that started this whole mess for you?
Iron 4X heads have over the years seemed to be the most prone to cracking if that's what your
running?
I don't know what your expecting for end results by running 10.75 to 1 comp on today's fuel I must admit unless your running Aluminum heads which still can put you on the edge depending on the Cam.
