which way to face exhaust gaskets?

[james accordino]

I'm wondering what gaskets you all used.  Were they
dealer parts?  My set was a "Fel-Pro" complete head

my exhaust gaskets fit and cleared the intake gasket
with steel portion facing the exhaust manifold.  No
trimming required.  Or turning upside down. (whatever
that means?).
