Please help step by step head gasket

[01bansheefox]

Just got my top end gasket kit. The kit is for the ProX single head 409 kit.

I got a rubber ring that goes along the outside of the head, does this come before or after the gasket? No instructions came with the kit.

umm actually looking through everything there isnt even a gasket that fits where the head bolts up to, shouldnt there be one? The gasket that i thought was for the head is the cylinder gasket where they bolt to the motor.

The monoblock kits use o-rings for head gaskets. You should have one large one for the out side and two smaller ones for the dome to mate with the cylinders. They may also have included a couple for the domes to insert into the head.

Ok hmmm thats right then

 

The kit came with one big Rubber ring that fits the outside, also how do i get that to stick? it fits just a bit loose, also.... 2 small rings that fit around the piston and then 2 exhaust gaskets, 2 intake gaskets and the 1 big cylinder gasket.

I use just a tiny bit of grease to make it sticky so itll stick.
