    Where do these seals go? Need to install soon..

    Hey guys,

    I found a few seals in the victor reinz gasket set that I'm not sure where they go or if I need them. Can someone please identify these for me? I'm trying to get the car running today so if you know please don't hesitate to respond. Thanks!

    Have no scale for reference it is a little hard to tell, but the four white o-rings could be for the oil cooler hoses and the two large black o-rings could be for the oil return tube.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Thanks for the fast reply Jim. I have an '86 so no oil cooler. Any ideas about the small black one? Guitar pick included for reference

        just make sure there are seals where they need to be, there are frequently extra/unused seals in gasket kits since they are generic and cover many different M20s.

          OK, as far as I can tell there are but just wanted to be on the safe side

              it looks like it but it's not, the VR gasket set doesn't come with injector seals.

                  small black one could be for the FPR, I agree with the large black ones being for the oil return tube from the IM to the crankcase.
