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. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I removed something from the divot, grain of sand sized something.
Surface for sure needs to decked, you can feel high and low spots where the gaskets had been. |

There are always machining lines left around the circumference, but are there any lines radially, across it? That's an actual fail, when the gasses cross where the gasket was, and not just carbon deposits or discoloration, but actual erosion of the metal. Doesn't mean it's not there, but I can't see that in the photos. Minor irregularities will come out when you lap the cylinders into the head. |

I get what you are saying, I guess headgasket "failure" is the wrong terminology here, of course who knows if that would have happened in the near future if ran like that. |
