Yes and another way to look at it is the small water holes go on the left and the large water holes go on the right. The idea is to keep the water moveing across the head so the holes are sized that way to do so.

I had two missed stamped base gasket from Cometic last summer, so I went with OEM. I was able to get a lot of gaskets... when our deal closed thier doors this past winter. I already miss those guys. :mrgreen:

Got a slight issue... Now I have everything back, I went to put on the base gasket, and the left rear hole dont line up!!
****! Have big ride coming up, what do I do? can I enlarge the hole to fit? or do I try to find a new gasket? Funds are tight, and now panic mode sets in! LOL!
