Left head on right cylinder, which way around?

When you put a left cylinder head on the right cylinder, which way is it orientated?
(I haven't got the RS hose yet or found any pictures I can trust)
Don't want to torque down the new gasket to find the water pipe is facing the wrong way when I get it in the bike.
Is it like this?:

That looks right for the SS/SP hose.

Why not just leave the head loose until its in the bike?

Good question!
I want to check and set the squish before I put it in the frame.
Which brings me onto the subject of different base gasket options….when is the market place coming back?

In which case you will need to use an old head gasket anyway. No point using a new one only to find you have to remove the head to alter its volume or squish.
