Fuel Moto Gaskets?

At the point if re-installing the heads and noticed I have I little Baggie with a 1/4" and 2" o-ring in it. I can't for the life of me figure out what they're for. Watched the vids multiple times and looked through the service manual. I can't find anywhere that these would go for the parts I'm dealing with. We're they somehow thrown in the package by mistake? I know they add gaskets to the package sent with the kit. I'll give FM a call if nobody here knows.

Not much help here, but I ended up with them as extra when I did my 107 kit.

I believe those are for the 00-06 oil pump/cam plate mounting surface. The 1/4" would go behind the locating dowel in the cam chest and the 2" would fit in the oil pump flange.

Is there only 1 of each size?

Thanks all! I feel much better now. I've been super careful taking my time and all of a sudden noticed them, fearing the worst.

I had breather gaskets left over too, since I upgraded the breathers to the two piece metal style that became standard in 2011.

I also had those gaskets left over for the oil pump/support plate when I did my conversion to the 06+ (Dyna) 07+ (Touring/Softail) cam components.

The James Gaskets that FM sells as a kit are first rate.

Glad we could help put your mind at ease! It's not fun to have extra parts around, even if they really are 'extra'.

Now if I could just get my heads back from Big Boyz I'd be good to go. Shoulda just had them done at Fuel Moto too. I'd be finished by now! Sent them off 3 weeks ago and they still haven't been touched. If it wasn't so much to ship them back, I would. I'm in kind of a hurry to finish up since I have a big ride in 2 weeks. Oh well...
