Head Gasket Fitment
 
What are the difference between the head gasket for a 95 ka24de and the 94 ka24de? The reason I ask is because I blew the head gasket and when I went to buy one at Kragen, they told me the 94 was the same, (95 was not in stock) so I bought it. I also bought the 94 intake gasket as I thought that they'd be the same too but when I filled the radiator with water, it leaked right at the intake manifold gasket, between the manifold and cylinder head. I figured that it was because the 94 and 95 aren't interchangeable so with this discovery I wonder if the same thing will happen with my head gasket. When I examined the old one and the new one I could have sworn that other than the vertical 10mm bolt hole by the distributor, the rest were both identical. Am I going to have to get a 95 gasket or will the 94 work? I did have to trim it a little and make a new hole for that 10mm vertical bolt but it wasn't anywhere near the oil or water passages. I really don't want to tear the engine apart again but I don't want to leave that gasket on there if it won't work. Please help! Thanks!

My engine is running with the 94 gasket. I examined them both, the 95 and the 94 through pics online and they are the same except for that on vertical 10mm bolt. It runs fine though!!
