    I installed a new Denso o2 downstream sensor on my truck today. After I finished, I realized I installed the gasket backwards. Should I just run it, flip the current gasket the correct way, or buy a new gasket and install the correct way?

    See 10 minutes in for toolman's recommendation on which way the gasket goes:
