hey guys im kinda stumped as to what way the head gasket goes on an h22a engine. ive done head gaskets before on my b20 vtec but it was quit a bit diff this one doesnt really have any hints and i dont wanna put it on backwards, does any one have a pic of how the gasket should look on the block or any thing that will help? i know the head gasket doesnt let coolant through on 1 side of the block but what side i heard the left? any help is GREATLY appreciated thanks

It can only go 1 way on this engine, the oil control orifice between cylinders 2 and 3 on the back of the block make it a dead give away.

sorry to sound like an idiot and thanks for the reply just wanna make sure i do it right the first time, would you recomend using moly lube for the studs or just regular oil? there stock head studs and do you know the torque specs for them? heres a pic of the gasket does it look correct? thanks in advance!
