The last time I installed a new head gasket on a Ford 460, the two largest holes at the top (the ones that look like large triangles) extended into the lifter galley without any obstructions. I can definitely see head material through those holes in the pic you provided. Your gasket was installed upside down. I can't say that's the cause of your engine cooling problem, but I can tell that the gasket is not properly installed.
