the gaskets have two different surfaces, one is alloy, the other is 
stainless steel, one is meant to face the cylinder head (the alloy) and 
the stainless steel toward the manifold, by the parts provided by the 
dealer that can't happen, two would be installed backwards. anyone have 
experience with copper EM gaskets?
