Great, thanks. Now why the **** wouldn't it say that somewhere on the gasket or package?

I think I owe you a couple dozen beers by now, lol.

Yea, between RB and Fbird88 I owe alot of beers.

Oddly enough, my Fel Pro gaskets did have the word "UP" imprinted on one side.

The last set of Felpro head gaskets I used had the sides marked too. These are Victor gaskets.
