Ok, I've been told two different ways of installing the Header to head gasket. The gasket has one siad that is felt and the other which is a harder material made for high temperatures. I was personally thinking the hard gasket material should go towards the headers as they do not disappitate heat as well? I've heard to put that towards the block side..... Any opinions???

I use Fel-pro 1415. Never had even the slightest leak with them.

Gasket came with the Gasket set. It is a Fel-Pro. Everything is same as came off. (OEM). Fel-Pro makes one for ford racing products. I beleive the only difference is the Ford Racing Products set valve stem seals are polyeurouthain rubber . (I have no clue how to spell that.) and Fel-Pro's set has umbrealla type seals on the exhaust.
