So I'm putting the head back on the beast and got a fel pro head gasket set, came with a nice MLS exhaust manifold gasket, but the holes for the ports of the gasket are much larger than the exhaust ports on the head or manifold, is this normal??
 
How big? Can you get a pic?

I literally just put a fel pro EM gasket on.

Are the holes like this?
 
Ya looks like that, just the holes where the exhaust ports are bigger than the actual exhaust ports of the cylinder head, I think it will still work just looks odd
 
It will seal as long as you got the correct kit. Torque it as well, 10-14 lbs and work from inside towards outer in a starish pattern if you can to help seal it. Good luck!
 
Thanks, ya we'll see, I'll have it all back together in the next couple days. All bolt holes line up just port holes larger
 
Well thought about that, but it would be ALOT of material, like 1/4 inch around ports, seems excessive, all the other gaskets were right an package had not been opened
 
Well my Mr Gasket embossed copper was ALMOST restrictive for my header so I think I am gonna try the FelPro and report back after I wrap it and the DP. I will post a picture.

Ya mine seems to have much smaller diameter ports on both the manifold and head, searched the net as much as I can and all the heads I've seen on the exhaust side have about the same size black soot ring. Just seems odd, guess I could port match
