Must be a B series thing. Mine has none.

OEM for the win!


I hate those blue FEL PRO's


I use CORK gaskets for my pans from Fast Under Car.

BTW - installed the OEM oil pan gasket last night and so much better than the felpro. It's made of a different softer rubber that you can lay out in the pan and it stays there. The felpro one was all springy and wouldn't stay in place for anything. Worth the extra $15

There are only a couple washers on the end. They are built in and typically over played with rubber. I am not surprised that you didn't see them as they are NOT in every hole (although the should be)...

Sure you can, you just have to use the right torque specs and not the ones for the factory gasket. IIRC its 60in/lb vs 104in/lb.
