mikesmith:
Ring gap for 1987 up is .006-.014 for new rings and the wear limit is .028,I would check it my self even if FM? has told you he has.As far as not using Super-M to break it in,thats a new one to me.

gowen:
EG does check the gap. But, it is always best to check it anyway. Let me know how it runs.

kawdude:
Woohoo!  Top end just arrived.

For the Steel head gasket do the bumps go up and with the circlips is the open end supposed to be up or down or does it matter?

Can't wait crank it up...

gowen:
I think the bump is up..

mikesmith:
Head gasket has metal rings in the center,the shorter side faces up.The circlips open end can be up or down but not on its side as they could bonce out of there grooves.
