Default Ehaust header flanges

Mods please move this if it's in the wrong section.

Just received my Pacesetter Long Tube headers for my 1999 5.4 f150 from walmart.com of all places .

Driver side flange has one incomplete bolt hole. Is this normal?
Should I run these or try to return them? If I do run them will they be safe?

All help appreciated.

That’s so you can start a bolt hang the gasket in place and slip the header into place without everything falling.

Those concerned me when I first saw them too. But you’ll be fine. Try percy’s header gaskets. They are awesome and I haven’t had any leaks yet with mine
