Too late for you, but I will never understand why people add RTV to paper gaskets. It just serves to **** off the next guy who has to work on it. If your paper gasket leaks, you didn't prep the surface carefully enough. The only places I use RTV on my engines are the oil pan and the corners of the valve cover, as per the FSM. Everywhere else relies on proper prep technique and standard gaskets.

2 flywheel bolts threaded quite far in (don't want to trash thre threads). Prybar between the bolts. Roomate pushing prybar, me pushing torque wrench.

Should be good to go. I bought 2. But forgot to measure this one before I put it in. Oh well. Its something I'l have in the spares box, and order a new one if I use it.

Here is the link to a 25 pack of upper o rings.

And what I believe to be the lower o rings used for head to injector.

If somebody knows what the upper injector o-ring (between the injector and the adapter) size is that would be great.

I'm slightly worried about my custom fuel rail leaking, so that may be sooner than I hoped.

Shims showed up. Back 4 needed about 3 hours of grinding. Front 4 I was able to get into spec without grinding.
Front 4 exhaust are done. So 4 more rear shims and some cleaning and seal installing and the head will be ready.
