Your gasket may have been working fine, but I'm saying that using a thicker head gasket than stock may have prevented the pistons from hitting the head.
I wonder if your pistons were sticking out of the top of the deck at TDC (like mine).
I remember seeing a few Foci on Focaljet lately that have had probe pistons failing at the same place, but I guess for other reasons.
