cylinder base gasket direction

[SilverRider]

So I just put a new piston in my yz250. I was looking through the manual and it said to install base gasket printed side down toward the crank case. I am not sure if I put it on upside down as my gasket had no print. Is it possible to put in the gasket upside down? And what might happen? Thanks.

If you used a wiseco kit, i dont think it matters which side up you put in the gasket. Thats the kit i used to rebuild my bike last season and ive been running it till now and everything is fine.

Due to the shape of the gasket it will only fit one way.

I know, I was looking at the old gasket today while cleaning up and figured it out. I guess I had one too many beers Friday night. Thanks for the info though.
