<p class=MsoNormal>Even if I figure out which way to put the head gasket on
there still is a few more questions. The service manual says to torque
the head bolts from 65 - 70 ft lbs. It does not mention anything about
the rocker studs. I'm guessing they are torqued to the same specs?
As far as coating the gasket I intend to use Wellseal. And my head was
also previously repaired between 2 and 3 by an old school welder. The
problem was to repair the crack needed a lot of meat ground away from the
intake ports of 2 and 3 to do the welding on the inside of the head. Of
coarse the head would still work, but I just thought the air flow would be
different between the inner and out intake ports. I had the head pocket
ported to even the flow out some. Who knows, it may all be for nothing if
it cracks again. Then I'll spring for an aluminum head. At least
then I will have this gasket and torque thing pretty well sorted out.<o:p></o:p></p>
