Default Headgasket condition 1 and what it tells about the engine

The headgasket looked like this. For reference I kept it but for easier storage it got folded in half so ignore the tear in the very center.

There`s rust, discoloration, corrosion, carbon, burning etc and it`s not pretty.

I found a GOETZE label on this gasket. And a number that reads: 11485-41-...

INTERESTING THAT THIS GASKET WAS RESTRICTING PLENTY OF FLOW.
ALSO, BETWEEN EACH TWO CYLINDERS, THE TWO TINY HOLES ARE FULLY `PLUGGED` (by an un-punctured gasket) ON ONE WHOLE SIDE OF THE ENTIRE CYL HEAD.
Telling by the gasket notch&label side, the side I`m mentioning above is the manifold side of the d24.
