Head gaskets question

If you have a blown head gasket on a 6.0, after the gaskets were removed would you be able to tell where the gasket failed?

Since the gaskets are metal or multilayer metal in some cases would you be unable to tell where the gasket failed or would it always be visible?

Useually you will be able to tell either scorch marks from combustion gas or sealing material washed away if a coolant leak flowing.

Seperate the mls, you may find it.
Look for carbon tracking.

You may not find a bad gasket but instead a cracked head.
