Starting on installing the (plenum KS job) lower intake runners, and maybe this is a dumb question, but what side of the gasket should face up, the "raised" face , or the "indented" face?

Or does it even matter?

Thanks...

Both Gaskets, Left and Right are the same, and can be flipped around either way to fit.

I'm beginning to believe,it dosen't matter......

how's this for real time....i pulled the right bank not 15 minutes ago. 'bump' goes to the bottom per old gasket. i agree that it wouldn't really matter.

This IS the way to do it imo. with just the right bank removed, everything will be soooo much easier. i'm planning to leave the walk away renee [lefte banke], but have the gasket just in case.

don't forget to go to your local parts store and change out all the 5/16 high pressure fuel hoses [joe does not carry them as they are not pre-formed].while you are in there.
