are both head gaskets the same on 98 LS1 hey, I have a stock 98 LS1 that I pulled the head off of. I went to vic hubbard to get head gaskets and they gave me 2. When I put them on the block one side has "front" that points forward, the other has "front" but it points to the rear.
Dose the driver side take a diff gasket pass?

I don't think all the holes line up when upside down.
I will take pix of what I'm doing when I get home.

Is there any harm in installing this way? Or is there a proper gasket that I need to get?

If they are graphite gaskets, they are side specific. Check the head you pulled, along the edge there may or may not be a recessed area. If you HAVE the recessed area, you need the graphite gaskets (which are side specific). If you DO NOT have the recessed area, you can use the mls gasket (which are NOT side specific).
