Thanks Mr. Hanlon,
I’m hoping my photos came through to the thread. If so, this is the gasket used (from Butler Performance) and my head. I believe that since the head gasket and head are symmetrical, I couldn’t have messed this up if I tried. It appears that if I flipped it or got it backwards, it still would not have blocked any hole.
As far as the head oil galleries, there are fresh plugs in both the front and rear of the galleries. The rear drivers side gallery actually has a little oil seepage coming from it. So it makes me feel that it’s getting to where it needs to, but after all this work, would like to really know before putting it back in the car. However, I did come to the conclusion last night that a prayer might be the best way to live forward. If two full turns of the crank has a few degrees of hole alignment for each head, then it’s essentially trying to find maybe ~4 degrees out of 360.
