Upon removal the HG wasn't as "blown" as I thought it would be (one cylinder and not even through metal ring). The entire passenger side gasket shows black deterioration at the top of all four cylinders. The driver’s side looks way better. Any ideas why they look so different and why the deterioration is at the tops of the cylinders? I'm going to check the flatness of the head and block on the passenger side.
I think it failed between the top right water hole and the piston. Just enough to get coolant in the cylinder I guess.
