It does look like it's possible to put on 4r$e about face, but looking at the oil way, I think you'd have a huge oil leak from the head where the oil is supposed to be going up to the head.

The pattern one I used is wide the whole length

but the oil hole in the gasket will still be relative to the oil feed.

:-/ I know it's now irrelevent now, but, using the gaskets above, which way were they wrong. Did you spin them along a north/south axis or an east/west axis? Either way your oil way wouldn't be lined up.
