Guys,
Just reading the workshop manual and I'm scratching my head where to put the gasket sealant as I can't quite comprehend the instructions!
Step 28 as per the photo - What does it mean by corners of the head? Should I be reading this as applying the gasket sealer just around the water passage joints on the head, both sides of the gasket and the manifold? Not around the fuel / air passage joints?
When I took the valley gasket off it was hard to tell if any sealer was there, it just looked like a thin bead of varnish that peeled off.
Last question, my new wallet gasket seems to have front stamped on the wrong end as the square notch sits at the left rear, and not front right as per the manual, I assume the position of the notch is the important factor?
