So I am rebuilding a 425 engine out of a 1966 Delta 88. As I was getting ready to reinstall the heads I noticed the head gasket has an extra bolt hole tab that the original head gasket did not. The gasket kit I ordered was for a 66 Delta 88.

My question is can I cut the tab off or do I need to find another set of head gaskets? All the gaskets I have seen online have the extra hole.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dembig

 

Try C. Do nothing. That tab isn't going to bother anything. Don't lose sleep over it.

 

Thanks for the quick reply Joe. I will continue with the build.
