Pin-hole coolant passages on gasket instead off tear-drop size? 700

Took the head off my 1984 760 turbo yesterday, and noticed many of the coolant passages are only slightly larger then pin-hole size.

The new gasket (elring)also has the very small holes for coolant!

My car has overheating problems, although the rest off the coolant system is in very good order.
Is there any reason why I can't cut the gasket so that the coolant holes are tear-drop size?

Why are the gaskets like this, when the head and block have the large tear-drop size??????????????????????

Thanks,
Ian.
