LS2 MLS Head gasket HELP!
I'm currently in the process of installing the heads. The LS2 MLS head gaskets that I have say FRONT but they don't say which side they go on (left or right). Are these gaskets supposed to be unique (a definite left and right side)? Or is there only one part number used for both sides?

The cooling jacket pattern in the head is asymmetrical, but since the heads themselves are the identical on each side, so are the gaskets.
Out of the box, there is no defined block or head surface of the gasket, one inevitably has to get flipped over to match....so simply put the end marked "front" to the front of the engine, and you're good to go.
