Head Gasket Analysis
Note that pictures are labelled directly with what they are showing. There are two sides to this gasket, and both are in this post.
Take special note to the shiny area surrounding the leak path into the coolant passage. This is the passage closest to the timing chain cavity. Also notice the stringy appearance of the black coating as it comes off of the gasket. The single reason why this coating came off like this, is due to high-pressure, hot exhaust gas, continually passing over the gasket. It literally cooked the coating off.
Now, understand that the coating will come off in other areas due to combustion, but all of this coating should have been expelled via the exhaust valve and exhaust pipe; NOT via the coolant.
This black coating is what I found at the very beginning of the ordeal, when I was flushing out the coolant!!!!!!!!!!!
