Head Gasket, Which Way Up?

I'm just about to put a new metal head gasket on. Does the copper side face up towards the head or down towards the block?

It's your choice - but I always put copper down on the block. And a thin smear of grease on the block - and again on the top of the gasket before dropping the head down.
