Well good afternoon y'all.
This being my very first project car ever and first engine re-build ever, i
have yet another stupid question.
I am going to be putting the head gasket on my '68 Spit next weekend (too
cold and snowy this weekend without a heated garage to work in). Now, i looked
at all my gaskets in the set last week and i noticed that on one side of the
head gasket there is a small piece of metal in between the cylinder holes, not
just around them....but acctually in-between them. What is the purpose of this
and when installing does that go down on the block or is that facing up and
contacting the head?
Like i said, stupid question. But this being my first rebuild ever i want to
do it right and know why it is right.
Thanks all.
Dave
