Default Rocker assembly O-ring not fitting. What kind of O-ring is this?

So I have a leak in one of my spark plug holes, and I bought this valve cover gasket set for my 1991 Honda Civic DX to replace the O-rings.

Link:
Amazon.com: Beck Arnley 036-1793 Valve Cover Gasket Set: Automotive Amazon.com: Beck Arnley 036-1793 Valve Cover Gasket Set: Automotive

I went to go replace the O-rings, but found out that the one that the cracked O-ring is a different one from the one that I bought. I believe that it's joined with the O-ring for the oil feed, but I'm not too sure. Here is a picture of the O-ring that I bought on the hole that was leaking:

Here's another picture. The O-ring on the left is the original part from my car and the one on the right is the one I bought.

I have been trying to find this O-ring everywhere but can't seem to find it. Anyone know where I can get one (specific links are welcome)?

its not an o-ring its in fact a gasket man.

I'll do some research tomorrow at work and try to figure out where you can get it, so far ive checked head gasket set, valve seal set, cam seal set but our computers at work have more inventory and options. Ha
