Default BBC head gasket bores

Picked up some felpro's to assemble my 454 .030 over , the bores are not round and I cant figure out why ? I see copper head gaskets come with round bores ? maybe someone has a part number for round felpros ?

Thanks!

Default head gaskets

double check your number's call a tech line for felpro to beshure but it may be slightly elongated to seal on the cylinder head better with the over bore to better seal thecombustion chamber's beter .
