Hello, I have a question I hope someone can can help me with. We took off the head from my 91 vanagon engine, right side, because it was leaking a bit of water. We fixed the pitted area. On disassembly the cylinder sleeves stayed in place so on reassembly I don't intend to remove the cylinder sleeves and I don't recall a gasket other than the metal sealing ring. My question is: I have several rubber o rings in the seal kit. One large cross section diameter o ring, color purple and 2 sets of 2 each thinner O rings, two green and two sort of bluish. Now, I see from my factory repair manual that there should be a O ring gasket installed between the metal sealing ring and the cylinder sleeve. Which O ring should I use??? The instructions that came with the seal kit do not say anything about O ring gaskets. The view in the manual is not as good as I would want since it leaves a lot of questions open. Does someone have a better drawing/exploded view of the assembly that I might get?? I would appreciate any and all help you can give me. Cheers Jaime Forero.
