What side is the "right" on a 4.2

[68ragtop]

Just want to make sure the right side of a ford 4.2 V6 is the right hand side as sitting in the drivers seat, or cylinders 1,3,5. I am replacing the head gaskets, & don't want to mess it up by installing them on the wrong side.

The right side is on the right when you are sitting in the driver's seat.

Thanks for the reply!

So just to confirm, That would be left side as I am facing the front of the engine, & would be cylinders 1, 3, & 5? (this is the "right" side of the engine)

The head gasket is labled right side top, & left side top.
I noticed the gaskets will fit both ways, but would mess up the coolant flow if I do it wrong.

Sorry for double checking, Just want to make sure.
