here are the pics of the gaskets, one head had a blow by between cylinders, the only thing i can think is it was passing between the gasket?

Well. Bottom one looks fairly ok, but the top one is completely shot around the fire rings of pots 1 & 4 from what i can see. Good head skim with pressure test and a decent brand head set with mls gaskets and i reckon you'll be good to go. 2006 4.2 SC |

I might be wrong but if they are out a lot you need the valve seats doing on the heads.
