: when installing a copper clad head gasket does the smooth side face up or down, aslo should anything be put on the gasket as a sealant. thank in advance dan
Dan,
The seam around the cylinder hole faces up, I use a copper seal type sealer from permatex.
When installing the head remember to retorque while the engine is hot, may have to do several temperature cycles.
Good Luck,
GW
