Copper side up. They normally have 'top' pressed into the gasket, but some dont. Remind him to reset the valve clearences after refitting the cylinder head too :)

also make sure the oil feed hole is on the correct side (water pump end of block)
have seen some cheap ones with only one oil hole in the gasket - but gasket can fit both ways
