Yep, it still exists........and it still "sucks"! That's the downside of living out in bfe

 

FelPro took a long weekend, so i didn't get to express a concern. Logic tells me the head gasket tabs should both be up and printed sides up. But, for R-side gasket to align properly...tabs up and had to put printed side down.
Is this typical?

been 30yrs. since i had to crack off heads-so maybe things have changed

 

The felpro stock replacement head gaskets are not "printed" to a specific side of the engine. They will seal

 

Thanks....makes me feel a little better

 

Checked compression on rebuild heads.......should get a little better once get 'er started. Maybe some SeaFoam

1-145 old heads 1-150
2-145 2-120
3-145 3-100
4-150 4-110
5-150 5-120
6-150 6-150
7-150 7-150
8-140 8-000

 

Good numbers there, man. As long as #8 doesn't leak down you're in good shape.
