They are blind holes.

Remove ALL old gasket material and CLEAN mounting surfaces with a solvent to remove all residue. I use permatex on both surfaces and a paper gasket. A bit of permatex on the bolt threads just because. Tighten bolts alternating evenly to no more than 40ftlbs. I tried a copper/asbestos gasket once and it leaked.
