there is no grove machined into anything.
it is thin (0.020"), dead soft
copper wire, laid down on the head gasket to give additional thickness and
soft enough to bed down between the gasket and the liners.
the solder just
holds it in place.

I don't quite see it - that looks like the copper gasket I normally get
from Moss, with possibly some solder splotches on it. The head gasket
normally comes with the copper folded back on the edges like that, I was
under
the impression that the ring of wire was something grooved into
the head that
the gasket would press against.
