2003 head gasket grooves

Pictures of each head would help determine possible issues with cylinder liners, too. Look for steam cleaned cylinder chamber in each head, and see if they align themselves with the head gasket marks. Did you check codes to see which cylinder was misfiring? This could help determine anti-freeze in a cylinder, too.

Nah.
Liners can be a little high and put that groove into the head gasket.
My head gaskets looked like crap and I still had no liner lssues.

Even though it fortunately hasn't caused any problems, the fact that it's high is upping the odds of the head gasket blowing there.

The liner thing is totally overrated.
