Quoted From dreamer2355:
There is usually a marking on the gasket on way direction it goes. If your not sure, i would look at FSM or even call the vendor of the gasket maker and see what they state.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Just an update as to the gasket. It turns out that it could only go 1 way. Things went well and as soon as I clear up my white smoke problem from the exhaust I can then have it certified and start driving it. Thanks again.
Quoted From EricTheCarGuy:
I’m not sure what you’re referring to as far as ‘perforated’ as I think the new gasket will be smooth on both sides. As mentioned they sometimes have some sort of marking to tell you the correct direction but I usually just put the gasket in place and look at how it matches up to the mating surface, for the most part you can see when things don’t match up. I’m not saying this rule is cast in stone but if one side of the gasket has stripes on it these normally face the block.
Eric. The gasket in ? has 1 side flat and smooth, while the other side around the intake and exhaust ports are folded over and have several pin holes. This is a 2 part gasket. The job went well and now I am trying to solve a white smoke exhaust problem. Then I can get to the good part of driving it. Thanks again.
My thanks to respondents, and with the info I gathered from this forum and the video’s and links were of great help. I now think they are done properly. I like this ETCG website and it’s members who are willing to help others. Many thanks and Merry Christmas.
