am I nuts??

the gaskets were on correctly ("front" marking to the front, and right side up, just like the book says), but there are some holes in the gaskets that are much smaller than the openings in the head for water passages, and some holes appear to be missing completly from the gasket, like they are made that way on purpose to restrict the flow of water...

do I need to add some holes and enlarge others so that all the water passages match up with a same size hole in the gaskets...?

seems like this may have caused my engine to get hot too quickly upon first start up after the rebuild...

thanks,Mark
