To the collective wisdom of the group All of my gaskets from the headers came off with the all metal side facing the exhaust system. I thought I had read somewhere that the metal side should face the heads... of course the other side of the gasket does have a metal lip, but is not all metal. Does the orientation of the gasket make a difference??
