Valve Cover Internal Fins

I'm resetting the valve clearances on my 288. I forgot to look at how I oriented the fins on the inside of the cover when I rebuilt the engine. Do they go up or down?

I believe they go down but it's been too long that I've worked on one of these to remember for sure. As I recall, whichever way they go, you can't put them in upside down as they won't align properly that way.

I figured it out....the rear cover has a hole in the fin side to presumably drain condensed oil back into the engine...fin down.
Thanks for the help everyone.
