block is machined on the deck to accept stainless steel wire (o ring) to cut into copper head gasket. it improves the seal between block and head

my old dirtbike, a 91 RM-125 used rubber o-rings for a head gasket. my new CR125 uses a flat metal gasket....i dunno i likes the o-rings better, you can reuse them with A LITTLE Red silcon.
