If you bought a factory overhaul gasket kit that's normal not to come with it. You can buy the oring by itself, also the the oil pump seal is also available.

Very nice Smaay! Is the valve cover and block powder coated?
Did you end up going with MCS for internals? |

for budget reasons and since i already ordered the parts, im just refreshing the 5S-FE. stock rods, stock pistons, new bearings and rings and rod bolts. my plan in the future once i get another car to drive, will be a built 5S-FE with an E153 tranny swap.
the block i just painted with high temp engine paint. the valve cover is powdercoated a wrinkle red. it looks so sexy in person. its the same powder coating i did on my all-trac

Smaay, your alltrac is sweet looking! How much power are you pushing with all that stuff? It's nice to see you doing a 5sfte also, going great so far.
That crinkle red looks mint also! -------------------- |
