That is how they are. Post a picture so we can take a look. They usually block the water jackets on one side.

The stock head gasket has both side coolant jackets open, HKS does it in a mix. The bead type has small holes on one side and the other is fully open. The HKS Stopper head gasket is open on both sides like the stock head gasket.

Post up a picture and what head gasket are you using?

I think you are refering to a 1j or 2j head gasket, Ive never seen a 7m gasket like that.

Who's gasket is that?
I have only used HKS & GReddy, and never seen that on either one of them before.
Are you sure they didn't send you some odd-ball 5M gasket to just get it off their shelf ?
