I have very similar head gaskets on my engine except they were all steel 3 piece and the rivets were centered between the holes. My machinist, who did my head and cylinder work and sold me the gasket set, gave me special instructions on torquing these. It was in about 5 different toque increments and would go left side, rear-front, then right side, rear-front. Completely different than H-D specs. Have worked fine.

i just want want to make sure that with this much bend in the gaskets they will lay flat and seal. I have two weeks until my parts get back to me so it's not a problem to return this for another if need be.
