You can reuse metal headgaskets, I've done it several times with no problems. However going with 76 lb/ft is a little weak in my book. I torque my ARP's(used several times as well) to 95 lb/ft with oil.

I did have mine go early this year with no real explanation, I wasn't on it at all. The only real thing I can think of was I had my timing set up wrong in link. The symptoms were exactly as you're describing.
