92 Civic LX - What seals/gaskets are these in a head gasket kit?
I have a 92 Civic LX with 235,000 Miles.
I received a Head Gasket set from Rockauto, installed most of the gaskets/seals but still got some left over that I have NO CLUE where they go or what they are. I supplied a link to the gaskets.
What are the 1st two gaskets on the far left(within the valve cover gasket in the pic)?
What is the gasket on the far right side with the 2 rings connected with a tip sticking out(small ring, large ring)?
Also...those 3 thin rings(within the valve cover gasket..dead middle), are those O-rings for the lower-half of the spark plug tubes? Shouldn't there be 4..not 3?
Let me know guys! I been searching Google for a week trying to figure out where these things belong. Thank You!

Left gaskets are thermostat gaskets, looks like 2 options.
Middle 3 rings usually come in 4 in my searches.
Only gasket I can find that looks like the little snowman is timing cover gasket.

I'd back this statement on the basis that this looks like an all inclusive kit for all D-Series heads.

Those all go underneath the rocker arm assembly with the double O-ring being the fourth ring. The extra tiny ring attached to it seals the passage for the oil jet.

Ahh!! I see now! I was about to cut that little ring off the double ring and make it like the other 3 rings, since they're all the same size...LOL!
Thank you guys for all your help...now the only seals I have left are the valve stem seals left to install....which I believe to be a bigger job than most....I'll save them when I need them...
