    OX66 head gaskets

    2001 ox66 225 I'm doing the head gaskets what way do they go back on? On one side of the new gasket it has a white glue looking line that runs just inside the bolt pattern, so does that go towards the block or towards the head? Thanks

    Same question:

    I have one vote already, I would love a second for confirmation.

    As always, I will never leave a question unanswered when I find the solution. I always leave feedback and solutions.
    Cheers!

    OK, here is the dope,

    Regardless of which side is goopy or not, the correct installation is like this:

    The steel crush inserts that surround the three cylinders, the flange on those rings are different on each side.
    The wider flange goes against the block.

    Cheers!

    I am not going to be surprised to find that Mr Parker is indeed, correct.

    Yes, this is about a year old thread.
