I've also seen a block drastically heave up around a stud on a BBC aftermarket block.
I should have mentioned that it was a Cometic Gasket, no O rings. indented imprint was on the block BUT not on the Aluminum heads. could never get the heads to seal for more than 2 or 3 passes, new block by another MFG hasn't had this issue and stayed sealed with 20+ passes with everything else the same
