Yes, but you're missing an alignment dowel. You're also failing by reinstalling an 01-05 head gasket, instead of using a 94-00 BP26 gasket and a reroute.
except for if you put it in upside down and block the oil feed to the head, which a few people have done.

I inadvertently tested the lubricity of Lucas assembly lube and can confirm a VVT head with zero oil pressure will idle for about 8 minutes before the intake cam locks up. It is thus my recommendation that all head gaskets be installed correctly for any engines expected to run reliably for more than 8 minutes.

Can confirm! If you put the gasket on upside down, it will in fact block the oil feed to the head!
