I am refreshing a d16z6 engine before dropping it into my rt4wd wagon. I've been slowly replacing wear/tear items and made it to the rear main seal today. I pulled the housing off, started trying to remove the gasket, and noticed that something seems off. My rear main seal housing has a metal ring in the center, there was gasket material on both sides of it. I had ordered a brand new rear main seal from honda specific for the z6, and it also does not seem like quite the right one. Am I missing something?

In the pictures, the area in the center where you can see gasket material somewhat taken off is metal.
