RE: head gasket question
no ..it should just say front on the gasket..meaning that should be at the front cylinders.....one side will face up saying front and the other side will face down saying front..doesn't matter which way it goes as long as the front is at the front!!!

yup, i cant tell you how many people get that one wrong and install one gasket backwards.
the coolant holes in the back should be blocked off and they should be open in the front IIRC
