hi all ive been searching around and cant find any info on this one. im putting a new head on my tb42 and i noticed that the water journals on inlet side of the old and new gaskets are much smaller than the journals in head and block while the exhaust side holes in the gasket are fully opened up to the size of journals in block and head. any ideas why this is? and should it be or should i open the holes up to the size of the journals in block and head? i thought maybe its to increase flow on the hot side of the head, but wouldnt max flow all around be better?

you can see some of the holes are completetly closed on the old gasket. surely this is not right. the block and head have matching journals shouldnt the gasket match those?
any thoughts or previous experience would be greatly apreciated :)
