i had put together my motor B20/vtec(type r). the first time i had an oil leak at the back right of the head. i took the head off realizing the damn gasket was upside down. i flipped it around and have been asking people which is the correct way to put it on. when i put it on with the word"up" is read correctly, it seems like it doesnt cover some parts of the head. when i turn it 180 it fits perfectly. and people have told me different answers. i left it the way with the "up" being upside down and it leaks in the same spot still. is this the correct way or what. its an goldeneagke gasket and i have it torqued at 61 ft lbs.

 

Also curious of my dowels pins. i know there is only suppose to be 2 between the block and head but should they be on the backside of them or the front side???

 

My dowel pins on my GSR are on the the back side what i did was get some copper spray gasket and spray it in between the gasket layers it should help it seal better if not maybe you head is warped..

 

my head is fine and i sprayed the gasket sealer on there. i think its the dowels pins. i have to be right with placement of the gasket

 

does anyone know the correct placement of the golden eagle gasket????????????
