Kawi head which way?

[Nottjbarlow]

(750SP)
Well not too sure on this one....

Which way should the head be mounted?

It makes sense to have the outlets on the intake side making the water flow full across the cylinder but these tabs seem to line up better to the cylinder if its mounted opposite.

Any ideas?

Is this the same for Aftermarket 550?
I have a PJS head, I should be able to read the PJS words from the intake side like in your photos yes?

Hi off topic kinda but I just bought a x2 and the gasket was blocking off the water jacket on the manifold to the pipe head and it's a stock pipe do I want to block it off or get a gasket that allows water to flow
