> 4) the wire groove on the surface may not need a wire -as the edges on either side  in the groove impart an increased unit surface pressure on the gasket.  The gasket will dimple into this recess and lock. 
> 5) there is only a single flat on opposing liners.  My understanding of having multiple flats was to rotate and hone the liners during engine/tractor rebuilds.
