Default gasket set confusion! please help

i ordered a complete motor gasket set for my 87 quadracer. now the front of the set says 88-92 lt250r.
the set is k and s technologies inc.
the back of the set says 87-92 lt250r ???
the thing is some of the holes look different on the set i have than on the gaskets that were on there. in particular the top of the headgasket on mine has holes all the way around either oval, circular (for bolts) or smaller circular.
this one has only 3 small circular holes and there and one area has a space with no holes about an inch and a half long and there is another holeless space maybe 3/4 inch. like i said im not sure about all this but some help would be appreciated and for your help i provide this ebay link for a great laugh [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
limited edition 250 with 500 plastic likes it wide open hahahahaha

The head gaskets for 87 are different than those on the later years - you will need to find the correct gasket - do a search on the net or cal TJ Parts Express and get one on order. It would lnly make sense that NOW Suzuki should pakage both head gaskets in a kit and stamp the years on them. Sounds like the parts guy messed up. Run the stock numbers with the company you bought it from and do a little digging.
