Default GE LS/VTEC Kit...Wrong headgasket?? Pics inside....

I have a Golden Eagle LS/VTEC kit and it seems that the headgasket doesn't fit right. Is it supposed to be like this? From the looks of it, it looks like the two corners as pictured will block the ports. I also researched a bit and some people say to use a non-VTEC headgasket when this gasket looks to be a VTEC one. Do I stick with this one or buy a non-VTEC one?

Are you sure? You used the same kit? Cause I compared the gasket with a non-VTEC one and those two holes on the top were different looked like it would fit better.

Exactly. I compared the gasket to my B16 one and it's exactly the same. I also researched a bit and most people say to use a non-VTEC gasket, while this one is exactly like my B16 one, which is VTEC.
