Head Gaskets

At the risk of sounding like a moron, could someone please tell me the way the new head gaskets are supposed to be installed on my Yamaha 130HP? They come on a peice of cardboard with a piece of plastic on one side, and I cant go by the old ones, because they have already been tossed. I figured it would at least have something saying which side faced the motor.

I have the same motor and have took off the heads before. I was told it does not matter which way you put them on.

I think they will only fit 1 way and all the bolt holes and water passages line up, but both the block and head are aluminum, so there shouldn’t be an issue
