Thanks for the sanity check Jeff! But yes, I did install it the right
way up with the tab on the gasket lined up with the tab on the block. I
also made sure that the block and head were very clean too. Only other
thing I can think it would be is dirt in the recesses around the
cylinders, I will make doubly sure that these are clean next time round!
cheers
John
