I pulled my motor from my 03 ranger edge, I have a new OEM Ford 3.0 shortblock, just got the heads back from machine shop, new springs, valves, hardned seats ect...
I went to install the heads and I am confused on the inst I found online... it states that the v notch in the head gaskets goes toward the front of the motor... thats all fine.....for only 1 side...the LH. in order to have the dowel and the water passage (round next to the dowel) on the RT side, the notch will be on the back of the block.
Does anyone have pics of how they put their gaskets on their 3.0? thanks in advance
I took pics after I got the heads off but the gaskets stuck to the heads and I didn't get pics of that....
