is there any way to tell if my headgasket is on upside down....my car keeps overheating and that is like he only thing I have not checked but i dont want to rip my head off...Im running a 3mm greddy copper on a D16...any way to check? I can take pics if that will help.

 

I think it only goes on one way.... (could be wrong tho)

Just remember....
You shouldnt ever have to force any after market part (ie: head gasket) onto your car.

it wasnt forced on, I used the two dowl (sp) pins and it looked ok, but I never checked to seed if it could go on both ways.

 

Yeah. You can only put it on one way.

Is your head or block warped?
Are all the cooling passages cloged?
Did you clean the coolent lines correctly when everything was installed?
Does you radiator fan turn on?

Just some things to think about.

i am not sure if it is the same but on a bseries the little silver tab sticks out on the pass side front of the motor and you can also tell because it leaves a oil passage open and all of your oil goes out on the ground in the first 7 seconds, don't ask how i know this.
