Re: head gasket
Most people run them crimp to the head so it doesn't leave a 'print' on the block deck. I'm a renegade, I like 'em crimp down with two coats of copper spray.

Re: head gasket
its supposed to go against the head, that way any wear caused by the fire ring will be on the head which is easier to mill than deck a block

Re: head gasket
Has anyone removed an original gasket to see which way Ford placed it?

Re: head gasket
If it mattered, Ford would have documented which way the head gasket was to be installed. It apparently was not important to Ford.
