Default Dumb question about head gaskets
I recently installed heads on a 351W block using Fel-Pro head gaskets. I noticed that the cylinder openings in the gaskets are not perfectly round. Instead, they are kind of oblong by maybe .1". Does anyone know why? Are other brands of head gaskets this way?
