    Already used the valve cover gaskets, spark plug tube seals and bolt seals.

    Well, I haven't put the covers back on yet, so if you would tell me where they go, I can install them.

    Maybe you don't have the V8.

    The large black O-Ring with the little tab goes between the oil fill neck and the VC. I believe the 8 black O-Rings packaged together are the Coil Pack O-Rings, which go around the opening for the Coil Pack.
    The rest, I'm not sure. When I did my VC's last winter, the kit had those same four Figure 8 seals, and I didn't use them...

    The 2 fat seals that look like Pinewood Derby car wheels look like the seals that would go under the bolts that hold the VC onto the head. There should be more than 2 though...

    Given that Fel Pro kit fits 110 Toyota/Lexus models, feel confident you will have unused parts. Important parts are new bolt washers, VC gasket, tube seals.

    What year/type you working with ?

    I'm just being a smartass this morning. Only got 4 hours sleep last night. Got a frog in my ass. @N84434 nailed the ones I knew and added another.

    Oh, and pretty much this:

    Correction, just double checked and got these parts left, didn’t use, no issues. I don’t think they are necessary.

    Ok, my engine doesn't have one cam cap for both cams if that's what NO2 is, but individual caps for each one.

    It's for ours. I double checked on my rock auto orders and I did order that one. I guess I didn't use the other gaskets either.

    I’m going to be doing this job soon, is it better to get OEM gasket or is that aftermarket kit better?
