Was this head gasket blown?

Here have a look:

this looks just like how mine was. i dont see anything blown between the cylinders, did you have lots of white smoke or low compression?

[Mi|<E]

Bad compression, its getting replaced with a BP anyway.

[Bumpysbro]

ahh nice good luck with the swap. you using the bp or the b6 tranny?

[Limegreen mx-3]

at least the bp uses a multi layer steel head head gasket compared to the composite gasket the b6 uses..

I gotta tell ya, Sometimes headgaskets 'go' and they don't leave any trace of where.


I have seen obvious head gasket problems, and the gasket looks fine.

It's weird sometimes.
