Make certain that the gasket also has the accommodating holes!

Comparing the cylinderhead of this engine with another 6 cylinder head=20

Just a WAG. In the late 1960s and 1970s SMOG regulations were kicking=20
in. One of the first things that manufacturers did was have their=20
engines run hotter. Some manufacturers accomplished that by reducing=20
coolant flow through cylinder heads, reducing passage size and/ or=20
