engine and drivetrain M10 gasket rebuild kit question

[chance.hughes]

I recently got an upper and lower gasket kit for the M10 and going off the Hayne's manual, I have no idea where any of the aluminum washers are supposed to go. And help or articles would be greatly appreciated. It's the Victor Reinz kits.

The crush washers? One goes on the oil drain plug, and I believe one goes on the timing chain tensioner. How many are there?

The Reinz kits have a bunch you don't need.  There should be  2 for the oil sprayer bar, as well-

and whatever you do, don't forget those, as the bolt's long enough to damage the cam without them.

 

You may actually find you need one or 2 that aren't in there, as well.  The oil drain might be one of those!

It's a 'comprehensive' kit, which, I suspect, means 'one size mostly fits all'.

Some go on the outlet pipes on the back of the head, H20 drain plug. Some they throw in to confuse us.

Don't lose the special little gasket for the dist. housing bolt.

There are about 6 total. Big ones that make sense to go on the drain plug. And some small ones. I'll look at the oil sprayer. Which bolt on the distributor housing needs the aluminum gasket? I've heard of that but couldn't tell specifically where it goes. I have an e12 head.

I think its closest to L side of car. its open at the bottom of the hole. Should be in manual. Its about 1/8" thick, maybe 3/8" diam.
