Percy's Gasket Question

Okay, One side is flat and smooth and bubbled out...the other is flat and is indented.

Which side goes to the header? Which to the Manifold?

The bumpy/sharp side goes towards the header flange.

The smooth bubbled side goes toward the header. I called to make sure when I put mine on.

The sharp edged side is to the heads on mine.

Re: Percy's Gasket Question

Sounds good and it worked for me...well on the driver's side.

How do you pull the oil dipstick on the passenger side? I got the nut off, I just don't want to break it.

Mine just wiggled out without too much trouble.
Slid right back in with a little engine oil for lube.
