yep, thats it, beware the gaskets DO NOT say which side is up on it, and does not come with directions either that indicate which side it up, i just kinda did an educated guess on it, and no leaks yet

Shouldn't matter which side you put the gasket on. I've done it both sides on different engines with no problems whatsoever. Take is for what it's worth

Same part number for both sides. It doesn't matter which way is "up" because both sides will have a different face anyway.
