You say thats the way it was made but i dont recall it being like that before and the other side of the head isnt like that either..

scrap those heads and get some REAL heads!!!! 243's IMO would work good on your setup, with 2.02, 1.60 valves and a stage 2 port job. are your heads stock 853's ray?

Yeah that looks cast into the head to me. Just seems to be a wrong size gasket issue to me.
