    Arrows go towards the front of the block IIRC.

    So towards the timing chain/passenger side.

    Both arrows will face the pass side. If using fel-pro's, the rear will be print up. The front will be print down.

    Take a close look at the HG picture and IIRC it's symmetrical and there's no difference. Double check though.

    And yeah..I know the arrow is supposed to..but look at pics first and if it's all the same..it's all the same.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Its not, I just did mine a couple of months ago. The coolant metering holes are different on each side.
