The Head gasket issue isn't limited to the 33 series, It involves all the Intek vertical from 21 to 33 series engines . Like Bert mentioned, just not enough meat between the cylinder and the pushrod cavity. If they had engineered it with a bolt in the push rod cavity this problem wouldn't exist. Then you add in the warped heads and in some cases warped blocks just makes the issue worse. I have even had a few that you could see and feel the chatter marks from the milling machine on the block surface. Looked like a file magnified 1000 times.
