if you aint got no water in your oil and your car doesnt smoke then you should be fine because technically if you take your head off and check to see if your oil and water holes are lined up then you have to get another head gasket because there only ment to be torqued down once. so i would weigh the factors. but if youve been running it for a while and have no problems then i would leave it alone IMO.

it can only go one way. the 2 top corner head bolt holes are offset. so if you had it backwards, all the head bolt holes of the gasket would not match up with the top of the block
