Question

460 head gasket

Hi,

I am installing new head gaskets on my '88 F-350 and both of the gaskets in the kit are the same. If I put the end marked front to the front one has the metal strips between the cylinders up and the other is down. Does this make a difference in sealing the heads?

Thanks,
88 beast

Thats wierd. I know when I did them on my 351W, the metal rings were up on both sides. You have got a funcky package. Id recheck with your parts store.

The gasket kit is a fel pro and the parts on the outside of the box says that it includes 2 of the same number head gaskets.

It's fine.
the only engine I know of that it matters is a Detroit Diesel with their "build-a-gasket" set-up...
