Fel Pro 9441 gasket Q

[an87ttype]

I'm looking at my new FelPro head gasets and I noticed that they cover the bottom end water ports and just have little holes for the top center ones. I destroyed the old gaskets and don't remember if the stock ones were like.
Anybody know if this is normal? Maybe a pic if someone has one.
Thanks, this thing will run yet!..........

Yes it normal .Nothing to worry about. Just make sure that they are properly oriented. Front markings to the front

Properly torqued, the 9441 Fel-Pro's will live a happy life at 650 horsepower, as long as you have your engine tuned correctly. Detonation is the biggest killer of a head gasket. You could weld your heads on and they will still pop off if you have serious detonation.
