Default Cometic LS/CRVTEC Headgasket confusion.

Okay, so my 85mm Cometic gasket came in the mail finally. I compared it to the stock B20 headgasket I have laying around. The Cometic doesn't line up worth a crap. The Cometic gasket also has the oil supply hole in it that is used only for vtec blocks.

The Cometic lines up perfectly with every passage on my B16 head though.

Could this be a reason so many people have had Cometic gasket sealing problems on frank motors? Essentially, Cometic sent me a bored B16 gasket, not a bored B20 gasket like I need.

thats odd
all the 85mm NON-VTEC B18 gaskets I order are right on. no vtec oil hole
but why not use a honda crv gasket instead.

I've decided to use a stock one. Frigging $80 for a gasket that is wrong.
