Default D16Y8 Head gasket for Z6?

So one of the threads was saying that a Y8 gasket will fit a Z6, I am here to say that it kinda fits. All the holes for the oil galleries line up as do MOST of the head stud holes except two. I am going to either A) Drill out the two holes that don't line up or just go get the Z6 gasket. THe reason the Y8 gasket is that it is supposedly thinner therefore more compression. So did the Honda parts guy **** up and give me the wrong gasket or is that just the way it is, or is this Y8 on a Z6 all nonsense and I need to go and get the right gasket? THanks

the gasket should work considering a Y8 head bolts on a Z6 block...

anyone else have ideas? It looks as if the gasket should work it is just a bit short in the outermost stud holes on the #1 and #4 piston aft(intake) side
