Fair enough.

How much did the gasket lose -- must have been a lot? Did they have any guesses as to what had happened to it, if it was a materials failure or excessive crush/heat? Guesses as to whether it flaked apart when you pulled the head off or if it happened when the motor was running?

Will be interested to hear what kind of shape the head is in...
