No, I don't have the answer, in fact, I'm wondering the same thing myself. My head gasket is also only marked with a production date. So, which side is up? The wide metal flange, or the narrow? Calvi

13:1 compression in #3. I assume the other 3 were similar in the past. Where did you get fuel for such a beast? Bentley defines high compression as around 11:1. Do you know how much they took off whe
