Yes, this is what I was talking about on one of my first posts to this thread. That more pointed side should point towards the front of the engine. I'd bet that they are on the other way around. Thats what the ones that i posted a link to have a notch in them, to clear the block. If I'm right, to make these fit you'll have to clearance the boss on the block.
