Head gasket failure again! 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Charles on  Sat Apr 9 17:09 CST 2016 [RELATED]

Hello everyone!
We have two 1994 940 Turbo and a non turbo car.
Both engines have a confirmed leak at the head gasket adjacent to # 1 cylinder on the right/passenger side after only 50,000 miles of head gaskets replacement! The leak can be seen to originate at the gasket seeping down the block and not at the nearby water pump.Both engines have the same leak and never overheated before and i took my time cleaning and replacing both gaskets and torque to specifications! by the way i used Felpro head gasket brand on both cars!
Has anyone ever encounter this? should i use different gasket brand this time like Elring or Victor Reinz? I love to hear your comments!
Thank you in advance!

Charles.
