The 606 guys run crazy HP on stock bolts and HG's...I have no experience with 60x engines but something else might be going on with your engine. You yanks love putting studs in your engines but it's not something that gets done with these MB engines that I know of - at least the Euro guys. Maybe on the super super builds they do it?
FWIW I have heard of people using 606 gaskets on 603s with drilling of some passage holes?
Edit: Is the 606 gasket MLS? That might be why it works so well?

Have you had your head skimmed after overheating and blowing the gasket? I suspect that might be why you're blowing them...
