Via email from Mr. Gasket technical support on 11/20/14, "The Mr Gasket 1076 3/8-24 in. grade 8 studs would be torqued to 34 ft-lb with 30 wt oil."

So, you didn't overtighten the studs at 15 lb-ft.  The heads likely were already cracked and delivered that way.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

As previously stated, the rocker stud holes penetrate the water jacket.  I know of no repair procedure that I could confidently recommend.  Hence, I recommend replacement.  Will the engine builder provide any assistance?
