Default Blown headgasket
So I rip apart the block that I bought and this is what I found on my HG. Is that normal? It's also a cosmetic 0.46 hG

That looks pretty normal. Cometic gasket can be re-used 3-4 times.

Ok awesome. So even if you can peel them off? I don't know what's the norm . The only thing I can compared it with is with the other one.

YUP. Sometime they get stuck on block dowels. carefully remove them, try not to damage the gasket there. Replacement gaskets are about $100'ish. Each.
