The metal side against the head?

 

Thanks,

Cliff

I waffled over that for a while but finally went with the metal side to the header.

The intake/exhaust side of the head is flat so it seemed best to put the flat side of the gasket next to it,

the head is also water cooled so the header might be hotter and need the metal ring.

I've put 3000 mi on it with that configuration and no problems so far.

Yep, metal side to header.

Thank you guys!

+1 Metal side out and several thousand miles later no problems!
