I see by the title of your post that you may be talking about Mopar Performance head gasket. I don't believe I've ever seen head gaskets with steel on one side and fiber on the other. Are they Mopar brand? toolman

They typically go on with printed/stamped side up. I'm not entirely sure what defining features your particular gaskets have.

 

[bigdemo1]

they are the mopar gaskets P.N.#4120094 sort of bluish grey,one side has 4 seperate rings/other has 4 circles joined at center of bore,sorry best description.

I took a shortcut by snapping pictures of a Fel-Pro gasket showing the top side with some characteristic holes pointed out. I couldn't find any good pictures of the gaskets mentioned to really see what's going on.

It's the big rings that are at the top of bores,joined side or unjoined?

I might be wrong but I think they will only go on one way do the the dowel pins being offset. Try them and see.

With the dowel pins installed the head gaskets only go on one way.

This is true so on will go on with the ring down facing the block and the other with it up facing the head!
