The head gasket in post 5 doesn't look like it is made for that head, as others have eluded to.
I'm wondering about its design. The sealing ring that seals the head to the block has all that extra material inside of it. Not sure I've seen that on any head gasket. That extra material inside the sealing ring serves no purpose. Even if it was captured between the block and head, with the CORRECT head, it serves no purpose.
There appears to be a smaller sealing ring inside the main sealing ring. Not sure on all this.
A head gasket has to seal the head and block. This one obviously does not....
I see it is a multi layer head gasket, which is supposed to be some of the newest technology.
