Porting LS6 oil pump??

Alright I took a few oil pumps apart for porting and polishing, well in my rush to get them done I forgot to mark them for reassembly. I have read in some other links how important it is that the gears are reinstalled correctly. I only see one mark on one of the gears, and dont remember if it was facing in or out or where it was...any of you guys have any experience with doing this? Any one know what the proper was to reinstall the gears is? Yep NOOB!!

If you look at the edges of the gear you'll notice that one side has a rounded
edge(beveled) and the other side has a sharp machined edge. The beveled
side faces the inside (so as to not tear up the aluminum casting) and the
sharp side faces up where it can't damage the cover.
