Please see the attached photos. The 5060 file is a photo of the 505C gasket from Best Gasket that is for the original 3-1/16 inch bore 24 stud engine (38-42 85-90 HP).

There is quite a bit of difference between the openings in the gaskets for coolant flow. See any problems with either mating up between the block and heads, or coolant flow?
