Cam/Head Swap Disaster.......

Pulled the driver side head off, it looks like maybe the copper coat didn’t set? Thoughts? Also, anyone know if they require the registration bolts on the heads to be removed to use shim gaskets? I noticed that water passage I block on the front and not the rear? I ask because it appears to only go one way.

Look at the head bolt holes in the first picture and the small water passage holes. The holes are off.
