They don't know what they are doing. Pick a different parts counter guy or a different parts store. Take a valve cover if you think it will help.

Go back and order this... VS50259R by part number. Four hole gaskets are for Chevrolet or Pontiac. Are they looking yours up by VIN, was it born with a different engine?

Good luck!!!

Get the standard Olds gasket and only use the holes that are required, trim other bolt tabs to fit the valve covers. Use RTV on the empty bolt holes in the gasket.
