Head gasket question

I'm putting my felpro gaskets on and the blue side goes up from what I gather. There are water holes on each end of the block and the heads but only holes in one end of each gasket. The gasket says front on each one. Does that mean front of engine or front meaning facing up? Because if one side has the front to the front of the motor the other side has the "front" mark to the rear. I'm confused.
 
Make sure the marking "front" is towards the front of the engine on both sides. So one will be facing down and the other up.
 
Yea I figured that out or took a chance so I'm glad to hear someone on the same page. I got the heads on. Is there a way to tell which head goes on which side? I'm pretty sure I got it right because I remeber the marking from the ground strap that was on the back of the drivers side.
 
Also, the way I got the additional 90* torque was by drawing a line on the bolt head with a paint marker. Is that the way it's done?
