    Kits always have extra parts. Distributor has an oring that might be replaced. I have many left over stuff from gasket kits. They throw in usually for 2-3 engines that might use those rings. Be sure to silicone the half moon rubber grommets at the back of valve cover in the corners. Also in front on the timing area where head meets in the corners. You don't want any oil seeping out.

    Oh wow, extras... VERY good to know & they should say that on the darn packages what's all included. Even amazon & ebay listings for the 'kits' didn't itemize the components. Grrr! Thanks to your answer now it's easier to understand why, though ehm, not so great for me who doesn't recognize what I don't need yet ~ haha!!! I'll replace all I can find matches for then & see what all I have left over, double check & try to be sure

    I will remember to silicone, actual silicone? If there's a brand name I'll look for it, but I'll ask at the parts store, too, and search also. Yeah, will add that to the list of things to search for. I bet it'll be way easier on the next truck, lol! Thank you so much for taking the time to put in tips ~ super appreciate it!!!
