Hey guys
the head gasket was leaking prestone so I ordered a new one... Now I got it (suzuki gasket)
My question is.. In what position do I put it on the cylinder ? I mean, where do I put the 3 big holes for coolant ?
the others holes are smaller than the studs..
do you know what I mean ???
and what's the torque specs for the head bolts ?

 

not 100% on this one.but i think the big holes go on the exhaust side.i think thats how i did my 250.

 

The E stamped in your gasket goes towards the front of the cylinder.

 

That would make sense... more flow on the hotter side...
I think the other gasket was placed "randomly" cuz the big holes were on the left/back side...
well does it really matter

 

Yup it matters.

 

aah its written EX
D'OH!! ex for exhaust LOL

so this places the big holes on the intake side

thanks elw38

do you know about the torque specs ?

 

I have a manual so I don't know right off the top of my head.

E

 

anyone else ?

 

I remeber reading some where first torq to 12ft/lb and the 24ft/lb (I think its ft/lb). Also do the opposite studs as you tighten.

 

thanks !
