Liquidator Head GasketsX2

Maybe to make up for a milled head? Stuck together when installed? I find it interesting that these machines and parts have had another life before I came into the picture. Somethings will always be a mystery.

were the gaskets taken off just like you have them laying? or is one turned around from original removal?

Perhaps the intent was to lower the compression enough to make it stop eating pistons?
