Re: 356 Valve Cover _ baffle up? baffle down?

I thought they went down also. I don't remember them well but isn't there a flare or lip on one side that will actually extend over the engine edge casting slightly. If so, I would think that goes down so any oil splashed on the side would drip back into the lifter chamber. I think that is the purpose--to direct oil splash back so it does not accumulate on the casting lip and seep thru the gasket or get spritzed or splashed up and go out the draft tube.
