I'd guess it was simply excessive pressure due to the supercharger, that's a pretty common failure mode in kit-supercharged engines. In the past, people would machine the heads and block and use metallic O-ring head gaskets to prevent this, usually right after it failed the first time... There might be better solutions now. Best of luck getting it all together and on the water next year.
