Default Head gasket orientation



Thanks, but your photo does not tell me which way up it goes. Please see attached photos. The section of the gasket is not symetrical

Default Head Gasket Orientation

Many thanks. So, the smaller diameter of the gasket goes down onto the cylinder? What is the rational to this?
