All of my head bolts were at the minimum length or no more than 2mm
longer. The engine had 271kmi on it when I R&R'd the head.

Replace the head bolts -- they very rarely stay short enough the
second time, and the result will be what I had -- a leaking head
gasket. If any are definitely too long, condemn the whole set.
