Fork seal ... which way is up?

Doh ... I'm installing a front fork seal, have everything apart, fluids ready ... new seal in hand.

 

Which side is the top?

 

Side 1 - small product id info around the rim, 1/16" gap where circular spring sits, very slight taper around outer ring

 

Side 2 - 1/8" gap, no id info, no taper.

 

When do I tighten the grub screw/valve?

1. With forks compressed?

2. With forks extended?

3. With forks neutral?

 

Thanks as always - DH

Hi DH, The grub screw is done when all is back together under neutral conditions (althogh it doesn't matter that much.

See below pics for seal orientation.
