How to install a head gasket.

Hi everyone,
I bought a D16Z6 OEM head gasket. Now my question is How to install that one.
Well, is a metal head gasket and there is NOT or ANY mark at all, exept for some numbers at one of the ends. one side it's completely dark and the other side has the shape or form as a block guard. which side goes where? Thanks.

alright well the side that Is all black should be facing up. As in the head goes on top of it. The side that has the little silver outlining goes on the bottom(on the block) From then on just match up the holes. The coolant lines make it easier. pretty straight forward
