I'm putting on the exhaust manifold gasket, and it's the Fel Pro one with the soft material on one side, and that metal material on the other. I thought the metal material faced the gasket, but I just wanted to make sure really quick. Am I right?

 

shiney (metal/steel) side faces out, away from the engine.

 

ALright that's what I thought. Thanks.

 

This board is amazing. That request was answered in 6 minutes, 45 seconds. You'd have been on hold at a garage later than that.
