H E; Check to make sure the rings move freely in & out all the way around the ring groves on the piston. (not rotation, there are ring pins to stop that). You said you found the head gasket INSIDE the cyl.? (could be the source of scaring). Be careful with not using a base gasket, (it will change your port timing) for the better or the worst. In the picts, I saw castings that can be removed for better flow! If you get a head gasket with your "slant head", Check the thickness, the one I got was twice as thick. (I re-used the stock gasket). MUCH better power & compression!
