Flat side goes to the head. Most will have some printing on one side, which
would face to the headers.

How high up is the car? Should be able to get it in and up from underneath if you have the right amount of clearance. Might be a two person job....

I removed the motor mount through-bolt on the passenger side, jacked the engine
up about an inch, and the headers slid up from underneath (with a bit of a twist).

which way do the header gaskets go?
