I put on the head gasket but these 2 parts dont line up with anything and actually hang out from the side of the cylinder body and head. is that normal?  |

I'm not familiar with this gasket, but since the unused tabs/holes have metal grommets in them, I'd think they are for attaching something outside the head, or are guides to anchor cables or tubes/hoses.
They might even be locating holes to go over tabs on certain models of engines.
If the head and cylinder fit correctly sandwiching only the gasket material, the gasket should work OK. You'll just have two tabs sticking out that were there for some particular application.
C'mon now, somebody more familiar with these than me please chime in!
Id bet the gasket will work OK for you.
Ride safe,

Cometic is at the point on gasket technology, not many Gasket manufactures have three dyno's going all the time, ya just may bump into Tony Stewart, Clint Boyer or Ricky Carmichael.. They can whip up any custom in a plethora of materials in just a few days shipped. and MADE in USA www.cometic.com/p-35444-automotive.html |
