Title: Exhaust Header Gaskets Help.
Post by: Serge on July 05, 2009, 02:05:32 AM

Can somebody tell me how the gaskets on the header to cylinder head face? one side of the gasket is metal and the other is sort of rubber, i.e rubber toward header or rubber toward cylinder head.

my guess would be rubber towards cylinder head, but that's just me. u would think that the rubber is there to act as a seal, so it would make more sense for it to be facing the cylinder head.

i could be wrong though
