How can you tell which side of the head gasket is supposed to be
upwards? The only differences on the gasket is the openings that go
around the cooling chambers. the far left is wide open and the far
right has small openings into the coolant chambers. Hopefully someone
knows the correct way.

Thanks!

the number always goes up, it's stamped into the gasket, usually on
the dist. end.

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, so I can't phone any dealers
to ask exactly what SIZE the eight bolts on the Gen 1 propeller shaft
are.

I haven't looked close, but I'm guessing 10 mm or 12 mm. I may be able
to buy a socket at NAPA today, but it's a long drive into the city, and
I can't take the car with me . . .

Anybody had theirs apart??

Where?
On what?

The hub-to-knuckle bolts on 4th gen Accords are 12pt 10mm.
