Does it really matter which gasket is used? How about using 8BA heads on a 59 block? I've thought about this a bit, and don't really see that it matters; there will be a mismatch of some water holes irrespective of whatever gasket is used. Can anyone elaborate more as to a particular reason one should be used in preference to the other? Thanks, Brian
