Head gasket question

I have a 4.38" bore and ordered the 4.41 Cometic gaskets for mine. The one thing that surprised me was the bore shape. I assumed they would be round, but they actually still have the scallops near the valves, just like the Fel Pro composition gaskets have. I guess the bore of the block could be slightly notched there to aid in airflow from the intake valve, but I have not decided if I will try that or not. There is not much room up there above the ring pack.

I think it was @pittsburghracer that said he calls 4secondsflat.com when ordering Cometic gaskets, and they help him get what he needs. Maybe that would be worth a call. I did not know about them back when I got mine. I just ordered at Summit, from what they showed available. I now understand custom bore diameters and thicknesses are available for most applications.
