As promised, pictures. You may have a problem if coolant pours freely from your exhaust

Cylinder #7 - Note the gasket shape near the 5 o' clock position. The gasket was also partially in the bore around the 4 o' clock position

Not sure on the gasket brand, but it seems pretty thick! Was same side as last time based on the cleanliness of the piston vs the rest of them

Block side of the gasket, you can see the deterioration/crack in line with the coolant passage/bolt holes.

Tried to get a close up shot of the head side of the gasket. Looks like a valve made a slight imprint on it. It also looks like the Dexcool was eating the gasket. Will be going green next time around.
