Isn't the problem with the head gaskets not the headgasket itself but the torque specs they used from the factory? They were too light.
Edit: I guess I should check the age of the thread before I post! Here's some info on retorquing the 7M head though:

its all speculation as to what exactly caused them to blow. soft alloy as the head, low torqued head bolts, tight bore to bore and coolant gallerie tolerances, bad designed gasket...who knows?? i know i rebuilt my 7mge 20,000km ago and torqued it down to 73 ft lbs...and i have flogged the tits off it to have no repeat problems as yet...touch wood
