My factory TR 2 manual says: Sec. xxiii "Coat the combustion head gasket both sides with a coating of oil or grease and fit it to the block. The application of a sealing compound to both sides of this gasket is not recommended, as it tends to allow the cylinder sleeves to adhere to the gasket and lift with the head as it is moved, necessitating further dismantling of the engine to replace the figure of eight washers." No side is specified as up or top.
