Just wrapped up my timing chain/tensioner extravaganza - had these gaskets left from the timing cover seal kit ... any idea what they're for? Didn't see any use for them on my 2000...

Don't know what the grey seal with blue seal embedded is for but I would
hazard a guess that the two black 'o' rings are fore the VVT's ;o)

 

The part in your hand is an oil pump pickup tube seal. The grey paper gasket is for the oil pump.

 

Interesting..strange that these are in the front timing cover kit..wouldn't they be more useful in the oil pan kit? I haven't dug into oil pump detail, though...

There's only one gasket...thus I didn't want to start pulling apart anything else that I had two of, since I knew I only had one to work with
