Default Head Gasket Compatibility

I got some felpro 1011-2 and some of the openings for the coolant passageson it are much smaller than the water jackets on the head. Do i need to cut it open some or will it be fine how it is?

What head gasket does the manufacturer suggest for use with their heads?

Well, not sure what to say about the size diff. I used the 1011-2s for my AFRs and no problems so far. *knocks on wood*

Basically the passages in the head gasket for coolant are smaller than whats on the head, will i be straight or do i need to do some modifying? The head gasket made for it looks the same as my felpro smaller coolant passage than whats on the head so im guessing im ok, if any has some gt40 aluminums let me know whath ead gasket your using, thanks.
