Putting my 3.4 together and the head gaskets aren't marked for what's top/up. There is 2 little strips of metal that runs from one cylinder to the other, only on one side. That's the only difference I see. Any advise ?

Which Mahle gasket are you using? The one I see listed on Summit Racing for the 3.4 V6 has "this side up" stamped on it.

Zoom in on the photo, near the upper right corner.

Thanks Blacktree. This side up is not on my head gaskets. But I can match the odd holes at the bottom and get it right. Are you ready for the hurricane . My yellow 88 is in Leesburg. Hope it survives. Thanks for the help.

You're very welcome.

I've been in Florida since the early 1980s. Hurricane preparedness has become second nature.
