Argh.  I tried to use the 12mm bolt-size 1.6L NA head that has an extra oil
return hole with a block that doesn't have that return.

I used a gasket that matched the block.

I filled it with coolant and it started leaking out between the head and the
block where the extra oil return hole is/should be.

Damn. I thought I could use this head with a block that has no extra return?
Could it be that I must use the gasket that matches the head??

Maybe there's something else I'm overlooking?  Please HELP! :-/

Brad
