Greetings all...

here's a bit of a general question, arose as I
prepared to reinstall the head on my '70 Triumph GT6+

Which side of this bloomin' gasket faces the head and
which the block? See photo:

Yes, I forgot to look at the one I removed and yes,
all the passages line up when I flip it front-to-back.
The gasket includes an oil passage at both ends though
the block and head only have a passage at one end.

So the answer lies with the 'bridges' between the
cylinder openings on the lower image - do they face
the head or block??

Oh, and what's teh concensus - install it dry, or with
what sort of sealer?

Thanks in advance,
John D.
