head gasket orientation

Post by Duke »

How does the head gasket install on an 84 Aero 80? Does the domed ridge face up to the head or down on the cylinder? I couldn't see any registration marks and the manual just says "use a new head gasket"... :roll: Does it really matter or not?

If I was a betting man, Id say the domed surface goes up.
