Fel-pro Inlet Gasket Water Passage

Anybody use a Fel-pro inlet manifold gasket recently? From photos on-line it looks like there is no longer a hole for the water passage (see attached photo). If this is the case then I guess I can cut one, so I'm really just looking to see what I'm getting myself into.

The Felpro (big port) one available from Burtons has the coolant passage.

Curiously it looks to have the same part no. i.e. MS90185. Bad photoshop perhaps?

Just out of curiosity, what type of gasket goo (if any) do you put around the water passage?

Any can be used, however stay away from acetic acid/silicone based ones as those induce corrosion . I have used Loctite/Permatex- grey max/ultra grey for many years with great results. From memory It also meets more oem specs than most other sealants.
