them holes are your waterway, it doent realy matter but the more of them thats open the better for engine cooling= more reliable, athena gaskets have them all open i think

I think the 2e and 4e gaskets look exactly alike and if I'm not mistaken you'll see that those ports are closed on the original 4e gasket as well. I had a 2e gasket on my 4e for about 2000km and it blew, but that was because the head was warped.

weve been using it for a long year. no problems and its track proven. 2e is the same w/ athena more water holes than 4e gasket.
