Could you guys help me locate exactly where these go? The bottom right gasket with blue seems to go on the oil cooler but mine isnt shaped like that or I cant find that spot. Did they make more than one type? Which of these is the oil pick up tube gasket and where is that located? I know one or couple of these is related to the thermostat ( which I didnt replace for now). Is the top left the diptstick o-ring? Not sure where on the tube that goes. How about the bottom left? thanks all.

Top right is CDR to intake gasket.
Blue one is for a different style oil cooler.
Oval one looks like a turbo drain? I wouldnt worry about it.

Thanks how about the dipstick oring location? Is that where it meets the pan? Anything to note here? I heard they leak from here and are of pain to access while the engine is installed

Looks like the small o ring still in the bag. It is actually a fitting in the side of the block. Be sure to lube it up with something like grease or vaseline so it goes in smoothly.

The van/International oil coolers use that gasket. It's for the end cap that doesn't have the oil filter.
The bottom left gasket is probably for the oil pick up tube. It goes between the tube and the oil pump.
There's only one thermostat gasket and it's not pictured.

Thanks, I already have the thermostat gasket in, how about the big oring in the top middle?

Injection pump to gear housing oring maybe?
Illl reach out to him and ask.

Any idea how to pluck this out of the pan without breaking it? Seems stuck on pretty well with a gromet or?

It has a barbed end on the bottom of the can that slips into the probably rock hard rubber. Little bit of heat gun should help soften it up.
