Hey guys my 91 kh laser 1.6 carb had a badly leaky valve cover gasket so i replaced with a new one, but now after doing and thinking about it there are little rased bits (tabs i guess) looking at the gasket laying flat on something 3 quarter way down the edge all the way around the gasket. wasnt sure weather to put the tabs in the valve cover or on the bottom. i put them in the valve cover and have a feeling i did it upside down. can anyone enlighten me on with way round is the right way.

Chirping sound on a KF/KH laser can be the plate that sits behind the harmonic balancer pulley and the timing belt. When they wear they make a noise like a loose belt (hard to explain).
As for the rocker cover gasket, the little raised bit goes on the head side to help seal when torqued down... |
