Head gasket Q

Post by weldpro »

Damn I searched around hoping I could find a picture of an OEM head gasket (92-01) so that I WOULD NOT have to ask this question. Anyhow I did not find a picture so here goes the question. My new head gasket does not have the "UP" mark on it, and I cannot remember which way it goes. Can someone please post a picture or try to explain which way it goes?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Ah I think we are close! So you are saying that if the gasket is sitting on the cylinder, and I am looking at it from the side it will look like this ^ . It would be a peak rather than a valley. Sound right!?
