SMF - Just Installed!

I purchased a motor which had been assembled but not run. I have since dissembled it and have had some machine work done and starting to build it to my needs. The motor is a Genesis block at 4.310 bore with ported BBM heads. The motor had 4.400 bore x .040 Cometic gaskets, I have not used MLS gaskets on an FE before. My questions are 1 The gaskets are embossed does the raised surface install towards the block or toward the head.2 The oil hole in the gasket does not line up with the hole in the block. The gasket has an embossed oval in that area but I don't think when torqued it will allow enough oil through. I think I need to drill the . gasket. Is that typically the solution?thanks in advanceDavid
