To be smart I would never reuse the same gaskets, you have to buy new ones. I always replace bolts on the exhaust system every time they are removed, but thats just me.

If you take apart the stock o2 housing, you will see the gasket can be reused, it's pure metal.......

Yup, that plastic piece goes in your passenger side wheel well.
I think that cutout in the plastic piece lines up directly over the cranshaft pulley bolt.
You need to pull the wheel/tire off to put back on.

I dont care if its made of metal, gaskets are cheap and should never be reused. Always replace disposabe parts. Last thing you want is a pinhole exhaust leak, that could have been prevented by purchasing a 10 dollar gasket.

Looks like the interfinder part from the right fender that covers the lower part of the motor right at the harmonic balancer....
