[TR] Head Gasket for TR3A - smooth up or down

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

Since you mention the Haynes manual... what are you torquing the head nuts 
too?

My (early edition) Haynes manual says 45 lbs.  This was corrected in later 
editions to 100-105 lbs.  45# will work if you never get the engine hot, 
otherwise...

As for which side up... no idea.   I have heard it does not matter.  I 
always look at the old gaskey and do it the same way but cannot recall which 
way that is.

PS: The reply function seems to have changed?  At least for me, used to send 
all repklies to the list, now they go to the sender.
