Recently I bought a new gasket for my predator 212 non hemi, but the dowel pin holes are too small. I know the gasket is for a hemi engine, but I talked to someone who said no matter what you will have to enlarge the holes, so there’s no point in buying the “correct one”. I looked it up and apparently your not supposed to drill the holes out, so I tried it with a dremel, but the gasket just cut the sand paper bit in half, because it’s so thin. How should I enlarge the holes? I also noticed the gasket came bent, is that an issue?
