Changing head gasket questions???

Are any of the pistons or cylinders or valves much cleaner than the others?

The coolant leaking into the combustion chamber will usually clean whichever cylinder that is bad, but maybe not if it was a small break and you didn't drive on it very much.

Pics of the bottom of the head, or of the gasket itself might help. Only if you were careful while removing the gasket.
