I think your question will be answered better in the engine rebuilding forum (as I assume you are either doing a top end rebuild or something similar).
There is no sealing ring between the cylinders and the heads. You use loctite 574 (or similar) anerobic sealing compound. Buy Wayne's rebuilding book. I bet it'll answer this question and many more you don't know you have yet. |

Hi,
There has never been anything published that dictates a proper up or down for these head gaskets but I know what you are talking about. If you put the "sharp" end down in the groove the "flat" side will cover the gap better. I think Rick is referring to the head to cam tower sealing as you would never use a sealant between the heads and cylinders. Don

Thanks Don. You correctly assumed what I was referring to and offered the right answer. I blame my coffee for not doing it's proper job this morning.
