...are metal with a plastic coating, and they have a recess in the center of the gasket. Does the recess face the engine or the cover?

Doesn't matter which way you put 'em in.

Thanks!!
I re-used the old ones since they looked fine, but I have a leak. From which valve cover you ask? Well, the one most difficult to access, of course!! :P

Well it is a Ducati ;D
I reuse the gaskets with no issues. Cleanliness is important. One little chunk of crud will make it not seat. I take the extra step and very lightly coat the gasket with grey rtv.
at 3 bucks and change it always make sense to buy new ones for the exhaust sides and then i move the new ones I bought last year to the intake side and toss those old ones.
My system is awesome [clap] [clap] and everyone should use it.
