put the tools down and take a step back, last thing you want to do is miss a gasket or mess something up at this point. I can also help.....however this weekend i am tied up. I would hire a professional before you do it by yourself.

if i posted a pic of what im unsure of, would anyone think they could ID them for me?

sure, post it up. What would really help u is a copy of the service manual. You should be able to find it online or go to your dealwer and usually they will print it for you. It outlines all gaskets and placement of gaskets

WOAH!... that manual is alot of reading lol. yea if you want to take a crack at it here it is.


so i know the zig-zag is for the water pump, and the rubber spacers are for the oil pump. there was another large orange o-ring, i set it aside because it looked exactly like my oil cooler gasket

thanks again
