I just HAD to get a picture of this before tearing it down!
This is a Saber Cycle gasket.
The material on the face of the gasket actually separated and pushed out!
Not until zooming into the pic at the computer did I see this.
It kinda looks like the head was not completely tight.
I got a few thousand miles out of it before this happened, I checked the torque was good before removing and it hadnt been overheated so I dont think so but I will be checking the head for warpage etc.
BTW, I was not getting any of the tell tale signs of a blown head gasket, just this squirt.
