Question 1: I'm trying to assemble my rockers and have run into a few 
questions.  The shop manual is a quite vague as to the correct method.  There 
is a notch in the end of the shaft which should go on the top side when 
installed.  This I understand.  The picture I have shows that the notch 
should face the back on the ride side (drivers side) and the front on the 
passenger side.  Am I right so far?  My big question is.  There are obviously 
two different sets of rocker arms included.  The only external difference 
between them is that the little slot by the shaft hole is on different sides 
of the rocker arms.  This slot corresponds to the offset oil hole inside the 
arm.  My question is which set goes on which side.  This is very hard to 
describe, but I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.

Question 2:  While cleaning the garage, I threw away the Felpro gasket 
instructions.  Does the head gasket go, shiny (metallic side) up or down?

Thanks again for the help,

Glenn
