That's where the ports are oriented on a stock mw head......... To make it so the stock manifold lines up with the head..... I just match it to stock.
If you overlay the mw gasket on top of the std gasket and line up the bolt holes you'll see that the mw port opening extends above and below the std port opening.
Same gasket on a factory mw head:
Dwayne ,
in seeing this would it be practical to use a max wedge gasket on the source cnc heads . I use Felpro 1216 gasket and have to open them up to suit , I even had to open the pan up . I know height will be off . Or have you used Indy gasket 400- G1-210 from Hughes ?
I cut to at least 2.35 x 1.25 and may need a little more .
Sorry for the highjack .
Tex
