Just getting ready to reinstall my pan and I see one of the long side gaskets has a larger, squarish end on it, compared to the other 3 ends. Does anyone know where this blocky end should be on a 216?

Thanks!

I arrange them to get the best match with the holes. I usually have to trim the square ends. I use RTV in the corners to make sure that the side seals and the end seals wotk together.

Well, I found this on the web with pics that appear to have it on the front passenger side:

I will give it a try.

Good find Goach. Makes sense since there is more meat on the block on that side.
