Oh crap, I installed one yesterday and got it backwards.  Wonder if it'll make a difference?

DANG!

I turned the fan around the right way, and now you tell me I have the manifold gasket on backwards?

Is this true for all manifold gaskets wiht a metal face, or just the particular "Mini-Cooper-Injection-Intake-Exhaust-Manifold-Gasket"?

.

And, for those that don't want to copy 'n paste, metal side to face the manifold.

Thank you

It would be good if I read the part description again or remembered it.

Which side of the gasket goes toward the cylinder head?  I am installing a new gasket that has one metal side and is composite on the other.  The old gasket was composite material on both sides.

Thanks
