Installing a new Copper/ Alu Head Gasket on a BT7. Top side not marked, so would like to confirm, does the Alu or Copper side of gasket contact the Block?
 
If I recall, and I may have the wrong model, there are three holes in a row sort of between oh, 4 and 5, I think it's oil feed to the rockers, they have to line up, as there is a single hole in a different place between oh, 2 and 3. But that's just memory.
 
If it is a correct replacement item it will say this side up and the ho;es will line up>
