My '09 gaskets had the correct hole diameter just the placement was too close bowing the gasket up 1/4" off the deck maybe my block was off but the Victors dropped on. Maybe they used Felpros for their template.

My Pontiac Cometics have dropped on flat and no issues on any motors-IA2 block or factory blocks.

Good for you Skip. Good data for others.

Is not rocket surgery to "adjust" (file-fit) the dowel pin holes to achieve joy.

Tom Vaught like Gladiator movies.

Don't watch any movies HIS, rarely watch TV except for the Baseball Games.
So have no idea what your post means, or how it relates to Gasket Filing to get a proper flat installation.

"And it's a hobby. People are supposed to share interests, in a friendly manor. I know it's hard sometimes, but have to try to keep it in perspective."

Some on this board seem to have a hard time with that basic concept.
