Hey guys,
 
Firstly, I've got these extractor gaskets that i can't seem to figure out (see photo 1 below).

They only seem to fit with two of them with the metallic side facing the block, and two with the metallic side facing the extractors. (see picture 2)

Have i done something wrong here?
 
 
Secondly, with these gaskets and the inlet manifold gasket, do I apply gasket goo?
 
Cheers!

Hey Tim.
I went through this.
Pretty sure if you fiddle around enough you find all of them fit the right way round.
Sure from memory mine did.
Shouldn't need goo - i havn't.

As long as gaskets are square in relation to the ports, other than aesthetics it will seal either way.
Don't need any goo.
Cheers

Thanks guys I'll have another fiddle, if not i'll tighten her up

I'll try and remember to check mine tonight.

i was confused on this as well but came up with same idea as rs2000

Sorry - my two middle ones are reversed.

Thanks guys, so no goo on the inlet manifold gasket either then?
 

Don't know about others but I'm not a fan of goo unless it's necessary.
I put a little around the water outlet from the head to the inlet manifold but thats all.
And sump gasket.

Cheers mate appreciate it!
