My point exactly Ed.

A few years back I was at Indy on Thurs/Fri and went to visit in the Barn during Stock teardown on Friday and started talking with a few gents I know. One car owner came up and yelled at me for looking at his engine while they were removing one set of head bolts. I was thinkin' "Hm, lets see, the port cannot be touched so there must be something I'm missing here." And then I noticed his ports not only matched the gaskets perfectly, they all seemed to be the same size!

And others such as Kenny with his Cobra Jet and Corda talked with us freely.

I may have some budget stuff laying around, but none of it matches the gasket at all. In fact none of my stuff has a port that is anywhere near as large as the gasket. (Hence why it is called a gasket right?) Maybe that's why GM has lost sales, their casting foundry has lost its touch? ;-)
