The green are the upper and the black are the lower Taking the jugs off is a MAJOR PAIN and I don't know that I have e ever heard of anybody saying that they had coolant leak from the bottom off the jugs. I have had engines turned in when the cylinders had come off with the heads while trying to do a valve job and the and the reassembly did not go well any body had a lower cylinder oring coolant leak? Frank C. Ive seen you post that you think its a must do The off the shelve gasket sets are missing a couple of exhaust gaskets so take the time to order them N 901 316 01 and replace the hard to reach coolant hoses now and double check the other parts on the floor while you have time Bob Donalds http://www.bostonengine.com
