head gasket direction

01 Jul 2007 12:53

I'm reasembling the engine on my 78 kz 650 that I tore apart. Can anyone tell me which direction my new head gasket should go on? Which way faces up? (see pictures)

these pictures are annoying me. I'll try to get the other side on this one as the last two pictures are identical

I haven't had the head off my 650 yet, but any head gasket I have ever seen had "top" marked on one side or the other. But, then of course these bikes are probably totally different.
