But check water holes for fit..mine were off. Not sure it was the block or gaskets???
I would check to be sure..
I used a Dremel tool to "port match".

Correct...checked block with a 1016 and passages lined up. Assume Cometic had a bad stamping. ?

Has happened before on some runs. When the Cometic and the 1016 line up and the block doesn't THEN you can blame the block drilling.

As was said the block was originally a dry-deck block and was converted to a wet deck so All Pontiac has no issues in this deal.
