Basegasket: PTO side has the larger hole.
Headgasket: Not sure cause I'm running a opti-cool gasket.

Just curious are you running a SRX base gasket or the Viper stocker?

i believe the stock base gasket, this may seem like a stupid question but the pto side is the opposite of the clutch correct?

P.T.O. stands for (power take off) or drive...now for all gaskets the dimple(s) are always facing the installer/mechanic...If you do not have a manual for the engine you are rebuilding. Go to this site, at the start of totallyamaha and at the bottom on the left side of the screen tab down to online parts catalogue..look up your sled and look at the part(s) your assembling and it will show you the direction and placement of each gasket...hope this helps...
