Okay, so i rebuilt my engine.
i have got everything machined,
micro polished crank
resurfaced head
decked block
bore/hone finish
new oem head gasket
ARP head studs
i was looking at my pictures that i’ve taken before i installed the head, the head gasket is upside down apparently.
although its upside down, all the holes and passages line up perfectly the only thing i can see wrong is the silver(non coated parts around the cylinder on the head gasket) parts of the head gasket is facing up.
i have put over 450 miles on the engine since its been rebuilt, i have NO problems, no smoke, no burning oil, coolant levels stay the same.
only thing that is leaking oil is my valve cover gasket(valve cover can be warped since i got fitting welded on for a catch can).
but as far as the engine goes, there is ZERO problems so far.
can anyone chime in on this,
thanks
