It fits in a groove or if a groove is not present in the head or outlet (some don't have them) then a thick gasket can be used. I suggest a 180 degree but most feel a 160 is better. The higher temperature of an engine the more efficient it runs. The upper limit is the internal temperatures for the metal surfaces. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
