10V head gaskets - who's to blame

[Ameer Antar]

That's weird, though. Why would there be cooling passages in the block and
head, but not in the gasket. It would impede coolant flow between the two,
which is esp. not good for a turbo motor (I have a KH). Is the 20V metal
gasket any different? Anyone have any pics or ideas? Thanks.
