I ordered a new gasket from autohausaz and it seems to be missing some cooling holes in it. am i correct in assuming this from the pics below? i've read that it's kinda normal for some gaskets to come without the holes but i can't find any info on if i should drill the holes out. can i just drill some holes there or are they not there for a reason, the head has the same holes in it. thanks guys. The area i'm talkin about is to the left and right of the big water passage.

head

gasket.

I could be out to lunch but I thought that was done to allow even coolant flow

its out of an 81. 11mm head. i just sold my inari rabbit and got a truck that has 12mm headbolts with low compression in one cylinder, so i'm hoping it's just a head gasket and i can throw my turbo setup on it and save this motor for when the other one goes. i'm gonna be towing a light boat with it so hopefully all will be well.
