Someone please explain the correct way to place the head gasket on the block............... bc i have a leaks on each head on the back corners. From what i remember the had front labeled on them which i placed towards the front. i'm not too pissed that i have to pull everything back off becuase this was my first time to do anything like this so i see it all as a learning experience. i remember there was a thick blue outling the water jackets and i i didn't know which way that faced.

So questions.

Can i re use the head gaskets if they look ok?

Can i re use intake gaskets?

also the oil/coolant looks like it mixed. WHen i moved the flywheel plate thing i saw the second leak drip down, it looked green but gooy. thanks

No, you can not re use the gaskets

head gaskets are labled front, can't screw it up as long as you can read!!

there not labeled left and right are they? i can't remember

so gaskets are gaskets right? meaning i can just pic up some from a part store?

Nope! You may wanna do a lil research on that. Diff manufactures use diff materials. Some better than others.
