the cork ones are replacements for the section of the oil pan gasket that will be getting removed when you pull the cover - toss em and use a nice bead of permatex cause those little things will give you a leak.

the black half circle is for the bottom center of the cover, where it meets with the curve of the oil pan. use this gasket, along with a thin layer of permatex on each side of it and thicker dabs in each corner.

the circlular gasket with the black on it is a front main seal, it presses into the timing cover. use a hammer and a block of wood, piece of pipe, or large socket to knock it in (dont kill it LOL). i use a thin layer of permatex around these seals too because alot of times there are gashes and scrapes in the hole this thing is being pressed into from people removing the old seal.

And the round metal ring is a harmonic balancer repair sleeve, if your balancer has any wear on it use this to give it a "new" surface for the seal.

Do you mean using JUST permatex in place of the cork ones or use the cork ones along with some generous application of permatex


Also which timing cover would be better, Aluminium or the normal steel ones?

Thanks guys

Instead of the cork. All the ones I have ever worked on are aluminum.
