lower intake manifold end seal questions???

[bps02gtp]

ok i'm getting ready to install the gasket and i noticed theres some stuff i really dont think i need but i want your guys opinions first before i do it. theres the orange and black end seals that i know i need to use but then theres some light blue ones that almost look the same but are a little smaller. did you guys use those? what are they? and then theres some other stuff like the thermostat housing gasket that i didnt know we needed since that rubber seal goes around it and then sits in the intake. thoughts on this? please let me know. thanks guys

I threw mine away. They are for blocks that do not have the locating pins in them.

I think the LIM kit also includes the t-stat gasket. Some take the o-ring. My 97 had the paper gasket on it.

Ah ok that's what I thought. My 02 didn't have the paper gasket
