I'm installing a Nissan OEM intake/exhaust manifold gasket. Haven't used one in years. One side of the gasket has wide metal pieces (tabs) around the exhaust openings. Do I install this side facing the exhaust header?

I did. The metal goes on the header, soft side against the head.

Soft side against the cylinder head.

Yeap! metall against the header, why? Thats the part that is really going to be the hottest part so that's the way to go! 😉

    Thanks!  Installing it against the header made sense to me but my brain is getting old and can be fuzzy at times.
