uur. the engine is horizontally apposed so the valve numbers run simply 1-8. 1 being next to the rad and 8 is next to the bulkhead.
hope that helps?
ow and sounds like you need a workshop manual. you can find them to download online.

i had problems with a copper gaskit so i was given a compo it fixed it straight away
so i used one to start with on this build , save any problems later on / pits or distortion in the head or block , should allow for them ,

from what i've heard the comp is a much better option than the old type.wish i'd known about it before the HG change !
