I have a set of Best gasket graphtite head gaskets. They both appear to be exactly the same. They both look like they are made to fit cyls. 5 to 8 (left side) and not 1 to 4 (right side)
To my mind the small water holes should be at the front of the engine on both sides and the skinny side of the fire rings should be to the heads (words "Best Gasket 515" up)
If I have it right, these gaskets should be "handed" but on visiting Best gaskets web site it appears there is only one gasket made to fit both sides.
Can someone wise me up please?
