Start in the center and work your way out in a spiral pattern.

Thanks, just bought this motor used of course and the guy said it sat for 5/6 years and before that he had someone to add new rings, impellor etc but when he took it out to try it it got hot so he got upset and just stored it then I saw it for sale and bought it for $50. What I noticed right off was the HEAD bolts were finger tight and the water tube in the exhaust was not inserted into the water pump housing so I corrected that and now I'm waiting on a new head gasket.
