The big grey ones are the doughnuts for sealing around the lower HE pipes; they work with the 4 silver clamps and the 2 metal beveled washers. That leaves the 2 copper crush washers plus some sheet metal straps/clamps and the diamond shaped head gaskets.. That's all I recall in any of the kits. The egr gaskets are the same as beetle heat riser gaskets: They're just miniature versions of the head gaskets. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
