My method wasn't pretty but it worked for me when I had to replace the head gasket on one of my C's. I took a piece of metal and drilled a hole about the size of the water ports in the head/block. I then used a ballpin hammer and tapped on the gasket to enlarge the holes. It wasn't real pretty but it worked and I don't have any leaks. I wasn't able to find a gasket for the C123 without the water pump. I guess the expect that everybody has upgraded to a water pump. My method was crude but it seems to be holding for me. A better method may be to sandwich the gasket between two pieces of flat metal and use a drill press to drill them out. I sharp bit would do a better job than a hammer. As long as you have the two pieces of flat metal clamped solidly then you shouldn't rip the gasket.
