Looking closer at the gaskets in the garage last night, it looks like we've got some soot moving beyond the fire ring on one of the cylinders (1st pic shows it best comparing between the two gaskets). I don't know which side it was on unfortunately. Looks like either cylinder 3 or 6 based on it being one of the middle holes.

I didn't toss them yet if anybody has any ideas or wants to see some more close ups. I'm trying to learn here too! Most pictures of failures that I've seen were obvious. This is my first time working with one in person.

What brand are those?

Corteco. I put FelPro back in and used some coats of copper coat. So far, no more bubbling.
