why are you running your water pump in standard rotation? shouldn't it be reverse rotation since it is a 5.0 with serpentine belt drive?

Yeah, you should see the tabs of the gaskets on the front of the engine. Where are you located? Possibly too cold outside for a cooling problem to manifest itself?

Well I just pulled a head off today. Backwards. Ordered some felpro graphite hg's and some 1262 intake gaskets.


Do you guys use the cork seals that go from one head to the other, or just use rtv sealer?
