Pilot bearing installation.
I am putting my engine together and purchased a new pilot bearing. It has an open side where the inner and outer cases are shown and a side where the outer case covers the inner case and is radiused. Common sense tells me that the radiused side needs to face out to protect the inner case and guide the end of the torque tube into place. I just want confirmation.

that goes towards the tranny 
The radiused end shown below is the lead-in for the tt pilot shaft.
