If you are unsure spray both sides of the gasket with copper gasket and leave to dry prior to fitting.

It's not "end of the world" and should be okay..... just depends how anal you are. Its a gasket and is compressed equally both sides, by similar flat metal surfaces. I'd give it a go and not sweat it :wink:

although I'm sure someone will be along to condemn my answer as sh*te :lol:

PS: Hope it's not BLUE hylomar, needs to be high heat resistant.
