It is my recollection that the shiney side of the gasket is away from the head, towards the manifold. If you have a Shop Manual, I recall that it is described there (I am away from home and not near a manual).

Shiny side out on the gaskets.

I just ran into that on an International truck. I forgot to put them in the first time- ended up taking the whole thing back off. Of course, it took a whole lot longer the second time! Had a h--- of a time lining up the back bolt because, of course, I couldn't move the manifold around. Would I have gotten in trouble if I had left them out? Rich | | |
