cool , just to make sure, is there an up/down position on them ?? if that's the case , will installing it upside down cause the gasket not to seal and the coolant to pour out?

no that wont cause them to leak...i dont think...but the heads need to have a clean up pass done or they may not seal. I have seen this on 2 cars. You will need to lightly coat the gaskets with copper spray.
