Doing some reading and it seems that not installing the head gaskets are the thing to do when rebuilding a TypeIV.
That being said, could the damage below be one of the reasons for a poor running motor? I was told that after the motor was rebuilt the PO had nothing but running issues and kept replacing fuel injection components on the Djet trying to hunt down the problem. Finally got fed up and threw a 2.0 from a wrecked car. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

You said fail, but the gaskets all look intact. That divot is odd, but all in all it doesn't look bad. Or abnormal. When a gasket "fails" the combustion gases will erode a path across the sealing surface of the head. I don't see anything like that, can you feel it, like with your fingernail?
