I'm ready to install the heads today, using FelPro 1011-1 head gaskets.

I noticed on both sides of the block a hole in the gasket doesn't seem to match up very well with a hole in the block.

The hole in question is in the upper front corner of the deck on both sides.

I've attached a picture showing the hole and gasket.


Is this normal?
