Name that engine gasket/seal!

[Danube_3KGT]

So, we're gonna play a game called "Name that Engine GASKET/SEAL!" basically I bought a reseal kit and have some that I don't know where they go.. so I gotta get em figured out so I can install them!
This is the easiest way I figured to do it.. ( I know some of em, I think.. so I'll post what I think, if I am wrong correct me )


1. Water housing 1
2. Throttle body gasket (this is that fiber stuff instead of metal however)
3. Thermostat
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
7. Water housing 2
8. ?
9. EGR seal (also fiber instead of metal?)
10. ?
11. ?
12. ?
13. Oil pump seal
14. ?
15. Water pump seal

I also have 4 tiny rubber O rings..

1 and 7 (if they are the same size) are for the thermostat housing, either side that connects to the heads.
4 is egr. 5 or 9, which ever is thicker is egr.
Then the paper one (i believe is 9) oil pick up tube.
11 is between the oil pump and oil filter housing.
14 is the top of the rear main seal. I think the manual calls for RTV though..


The cheap set from 3sx? Ive got the same lol. I kind of wish I would have gotten better gaskets but its too late now

1 and 7, water housing, near coils, 3 is thermos stat,4 might be egr, 5 is egr pipe,13 is oil pump,15 is water pump.

7. Water housing 2

9. EGR seal (also fiber instead of metal?)
10. ?
11. ? (Oil filter housing)
12. ? (Water housing - the other side)

I also have 4 tiny rubber O rings.. (probably for your fuel rails)

They usually send out a generic kit, so some may NOT be for your car.

explain 8 please? is it a metal plate that blocks the hole?

[terrets]

For the rear main, you would have received only the rod seal. (O-ringish thing)...Then you re-use your old rear main bracket and pull out the old seal. That seal pictured up there is for the top part of the bracket.
