Default James rocker box installation on evo

One side of the rubber gaskets has a channel or groove. Should it be installed facing up or down?

That gasket should only fit correctly one way. This is Channel side down. If you flip the gasket the wrong way it should be slightly off to the side of the breather return passage in the top of that head. It will just look wrong.
