I'm just replacing the rocker gasket on my daughter's '95 Astina (BA?) 2.0V6.

The new gasket has material joining the outer ring of the gasket and the 3 'O' ring parts that go round the spark plugs. Basically the gasket came as one complete item. Is this right as I cant see the point of this 'joining' part? (the 'joining' part seems to be shaped to the head and is the right length etc.). Should I cut it off? I'm thinkiing not.....

The old gasket was in bits when I took it off it was so old so I can't tell if it should be there or not.
