I have a set of head gaskets PT# 8548 PT2.
Is there supposed to be a left and right?
They both say "front" on the same end.
Do I flip one over or what?

Thanks

You can flip them. As long as the front is towards the front of the engine you are good to go.

There is no top or bottom side to head gaskets. There is a "Front", so make sure that whatever side you use the gasket on, that "Front" is in the front.
