well i was in the process of putting my head gasket on my 88 Chrysler lebaron TII when i noticed that the head gasket didn't have the cross drill holes. I remember reading somewere on the forum that people drilled the extra holes and like the design better than the 006 head gasket. So i did that and it came out perfect. Has anybody ever done that recently.

The slots line up the CD's so DO NOT modify the head gasket.

Missed that part, guess he'll be doing a head gasket soon. I bet he damaged the firing rings,

I didnt say i put everything back together i just said it came out perfect.
Define perfect? messing with that area will weaken the firing ring which will result in a blown head gasket when you start boosting.

I did it to mine and raced my car for 2 days (10 runs) last weekend at 22psi and it seemed to be just fine. I didnt make the holes any larger than the old headgasket I had. I bought the wrong one and didnt want to wait for a new one, I figured the old headgaket had the hole in the same spot, what is the worst that could happen.
Got pics? If done carefully it should be ok...
