Default unidentifiable gaskets in set?

Hi,
I have everything off and my heads unbolted to be pulled and taken to the shop tomorrow.

I'm looking through these gaskets in my victor reinz HG set with a puzzled face.
I took a gamble and removed the fuel rail from the inlet manifold to find the 16 o rings in the set that belong to the top and bottom of the injectors.

I don't have the seal for the coolant pipe at the end of the manifold and have many more mysteries.

8 large o rings (1"ish) that are square cut and i think another 8 more that are a similar size to the injector orings but they are also square cuts. Wtf do these go to?

There are also two 1-2" thin orings, two paper gaskets I can't find a home for and 3-4 copper seals. Wtf is all this? I'm maybe guessing this is a generic kit with some seals for a defender 90s or range rover but i have no clue.

Default Gaskets

I bought the Atlantic British and had the same questions a few weeks ago. After some research it's a generic kit that covers all incarnations of the rover v8. The coolant o- rings have to be purchased separately.as far as the copper crush washers, I couldn't find a home for them.

yeah i wish it had listed everything. I just happened to have the gaskets going to the bottoms of the exhaust manifolds. It said it didn't include the manifold gasket or valve stem seals. I spent nearly 50 bucks rush shipping both and they were both in the damn kit lol

thanks for a quick reply. I just needed a few votes of confidence that I am not being totally retarded here. Makes me wonder what the big 8 o rings are for...maybe a difference incarnation of the fuel injection system?

No prob. I did the same with the exhaust gaskets. I think the squared o- rings are for the older gems plenum.

The brass crush washers are probably for the banjo bolt for the ACE pump , if equipped.
