hey guys and girls,
I recently got a new E61 beast to replace my old silvia. In the process, Im replacing the gasket/\/screens on both.
I went into coffeeparts and picked these up, and the young lad there let me know that the side with the very slight angled edges go in on top or down below (ie facing the group or facing the portafilter). I was sure he said that it faced up as in this crude drawing:

With this in mind thats how I whacked the new one into the e61, and havent noticed any leaking or had any problems. A couple of weeks later Im now getting around to doing silvia.
On taking the gasket out, I noticed that the angles were facing the opposite way to what I had been informed, ie towards the portafilter. Are the e61 and rancilio gaskets to be installed differently?
Cheers
Sam
