Just messing with you. Actually been talking to phil I noticed felpro has a couple gaskets with the same design you ran into. Im not sure why they do this.

Id ask Phil/Ron, and see what they say. Maybe they have ran into this before and have a remedy. I dont remember, the last time I had my setup apart.
