head gasket issues

[billy_whizz 0]

right we have what I beleive to be a 9a in the raddo the head gasket went so on getting ready for rebuild I come across this issue with the water ways lining up on the head gasket

9a steel gasket see the 2 water ways I have marked

 

8v 1.8 gasket these water ways line up perfect with the head

 

the steel gasket is perfect for the block but not for the head whats going on ?

the head casting is 051 103 373D which from googleing is either 9a of ABF

opions please

 

also where do I find the engine code on the block ?

that wont affect its flow,but you could scribe out the excess and file it to match?
