I got the Sealed Power / Fel Pro complete gasket kit (part #260-1650) and there's a couple pieces that I don't recognize. Anybody know what they are for? The second pic is probably just some garbage that made it's way into the kit from the factory, but I want to make sure.

 

The items in the second picture go over your valve stems before you install your valve stem oil seals. Those little plastic "covers" prevent the ID of the valve seals from getting cut/torn during installation. Once the new seal is slipped down past the retainer grooves on the valve stem, that plastic piece is removed and moved over to help install the next seal. Got it?

 

Ah, ok. Good thing I didn't put em in the trash.

Thanks man

Anybody know where the nylon things go?

 

The tube shaped plastic piece is for the oil pump to oil pump shaft. notsure about the plastic washer

 

Never seen one in a kit before, but sure looks like the oil pan drain plug washer.

 

It does look like that, but this is much too big to be the oil pump shaft sleeve.

 

Yeah, I think you could be right. I just remembered that the contents are on the box... I never even thought of looking there to see what these things are for. DOH!

 

I got home from work and looked at the box. pizzi-man and Z28sorr, you were both right. The longer one is for the oil pump driveshaft, and the flat one is for the drain plug. I thought the oil pump sleeve was smaller than that, but I guess I was mistaken. You guys rock.
