Re: Houston, We Have A Problem - Project "Green Machine"........

One thing I forgot to mention on the heads and thier gaskets. I would install them the same way the old ones were on, metal tabs connecting cylinder rings facing up. The only reason I brought this up is the gaskets dont say this side up or anything.
Here are a couple pics of the two... best I could find at the moment.


New Fel Pro w/bottom up, not the way I installed them.



I did talk to a Tech at Federal-Mogul (Fel Pro) and they said it doesnt matter which way these go.

Also be sure to clean the new bolts with a wire brush to knock off the excess anti corrosion material or they'll loose torqu over time.
