Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gasket Direction

[bcolvin]

Quick question before I install my newly machined exhaust manifold. Is there a proper direction for installing? I am using a CruiserOutfitters Japanese gasket that has a bump on one side. The gasket that I took off had a direction arrow but this does not. Mine did not come with the sticker on the right either... which I can't read from the picture. Thanks for the help

Hey, should have an arrow.

if it doesnt and both sides are the same then just make sure all the ports line up perfectly.

going to PM you

The 'Bump' should be forward and up.

The 'Bump' should be forward and down

Thank you!!!!

@Spike Strip how about forward and up? The orientation wont line up with the studs.

Yes, you are right. It's been a couple years since I did my last one. But I'm sure the bump is toward front.

(I fixed the above post).
