headgasket fitting

Post by ukbronco »

had to replace my headgaskets after a burst rad hose caused my v6 to cook and burnt the gaskets in between the middle and out pistons.. so now replacing them but i am unsure if i put em on right last time as i have heard they go on a certain way but theres no markings on the gaskets themselves

is there a right and wrong way to fit them?
if so which way round do they go..?

pic below for reference
