If there is positive pressure inside the cooling shroud, wouldn't these seal better if they where pushed inside the cooling shroud? I've always installed them on the outside. Do you?

The bigger "flange" for lack of a better word should be on the outside with the smaller one inside. You are probably right that it would seal better the other way around, but the way the rubber bits get mis-shapen, it probably doesn't matter anyway.
