its really hard to decipher all the anecdotes we have around here. So many factors are involved: did all those instances that you receive information from resurface the head and replace head bolts etc... when they re-installed?
hard to say. these factors could cause more problems than the previous condition if not all accounted for.
and I certainly would not doubt your experience on this matter. For piece of mind, the most straightforward solution I can suggest is bringing it back to ground zero. flat surfaces, an even gasket made with modern technology and new headbolts.
