This is the crank rear seal retainers we're talking about? If so, there are
no gaskets, just the split o-ring with it's spring and the two half moon
shaped retainers. Older SII engines don't even have the o-ring. The half
moon retainers do the sealing job too. The instructions do say to coat all
joints in Hylomar sealer before reassemble.
