Stupid Exhaust manifold question
In disassembling the motor on my 89 turbo to refresh and regasket, I forgot to make note of how the exhaust manifold gaskets were oriented. The new Victor Reinz gaskets have a metal side and a fiber side with a sealing ring. Do they go with the metal side towards the head or the manifold? I searched but could not find a definitive answer. Thanks

I have experience with this as I put them on backwards the first time, and you'll know - they blow little fibers all over the place!
The proper orientation is metal side against the cylinder head, sealing ring side against the manifold.
