Exclamation Need Cometic head gasket pictures!

Hey guys I'm in need of some used Cometic head gasket pictures. I'm talking to a shop that says my head gasket was the problem for my blown motor. The gasket looks fine to me so I'm looking for some pictures of the sealing surface around the bore of a used gasket to see if I'm just crazy. If anyone can post some it would be a big help and put a end to some sleepless nights.

Haha i think you should drop the attitude when people are trying to help. Is the for a honda/acura or an Evo? Most people wont pull a head gasket unless its blown or leaking and then gets thrown away.Were your heads re-surfaced prior to installing the gasket?

It's for the evo. I know people have taken off a head to get some port work done and has pictures of it. Didn't mean to come off with a attitude. I know my gasket wasn't blown I'm just trying to show the shop that it looks normal.
