I'm about to install my cylinder heads (I did not remove the cylinders) and I don't want to miss any gaskets. The push rod tubes will get new o-rings, the exhaust ports will get new copper gaskets, and there will be new gaskets between the tops of the cylinders and the heads. What else is there?
Also, I bought a gasket kit, but I'm not sure which gaskets to use at the tops of the cylinders. There are 4 gaskets that look about right shrink-wrapped to cardboard, there are four more in individual bags, and there are four MORE in with some exhaust gaskets. Which are the right ones?  Thanks, Mike |
