Felpro head gaskets, the have printing on one side, and the other side is blank, if its laying on the block itself should the printing face up or against the block?

Part # toward the head

60-65 ft-lbs, in increments (like all bolts to 35 ft-lbs, then 50 ft-lbs, then 60, then go all the way around to 60 again) overtorquing is the worst thing you can do

All of the head bolts require sealer... every one goes into the water jacket... use Loctite PST (automotive pipe sealer with Teflon) whatever they're calling it now
