Hayes is correct, the chamfer areas on the cylinder will guide you. Use good
O-rings, ones from the pluming isle of Home Depot will work but actual
auto-type O-rings are best. Or if you got your o-rings in your gasket kit
then they are good. BOb

should be just 2 on top and bottom stud, then other 4 under rocker
holder..or am i wrong? and can't remember if orings go under base gasket
or on top of base gasket...

The base o-rings only go on the top-center and bottom-center studs. The
other four outer studs have their o-rings between the top of the head
and the rocker carrier frames.

The two base o-rings go ON TOP of the gasket and are sandwiched between
the gasket and the base of the cylinder. Turn the cylinder upside down
and look and you will see the chamfer areas which accept the compression
of the o-rings.
