What way does the head gasket go on.
Damn, I think I might have it installed the incorrect way, but does anybody have any pictures showing the proper installation of a head gasket on a 99-2000 motor. I know there is one particular coolant channel that will get blocked off if it is installed incorrectly.

There's one particular OIL channel that will get blocked off. Namely the one supplying oil to the head.
This is an '01, but the oil hole is in the same location. I've circled the diagonal slot in the HG that matches up with it.

Oil feed/hole looks exactly the same on the 1.6 though. It's how I've always lined it up, but apparently there are other holes that would be misaligned if it were backwards? Never cared to check. The one time I'd try it to see, is the time I'd accidentally leave it that way.
