Hey Chris...don't feel bad, I didn't get the front and back thing  
either(no offense Jason)....On all the other cars I've ever owned, I  
used to just try and find the right sized o-ring(in Viton or you're  
it'll fall apart quickly)....9 times out of 10 it was just a bit  
smaller/wider/whatever, and it was either a hassle to get in, or  
leaked.  I didn't even hesitate to go to the dealer and pay for what  
I knew was the right one when I did the Lago car as they're not  
exactly staring you in the face like most "normal" cars.   ....I just  
pulled out my invoice...and yes it's a lot for a couple of o-rings/ 
seals.  077-103-487-A{base gaskets} $10.79 each(2), and  030-905-224 
{shaft seals} $7.34 each(2)..... I also have a 077-103-487 for $9.08 
(1)...which is for that "cover" right next to the passenger  
distributor with 3 bolts/nuts that was leaking as bad/worse than the  
distributor. If anyone know's what that cover does, I'd love to  
know.   I believe I glued all the base gaskets down with an anaerobic  
sealant.....no leaks since 06(invoice).  In case you want to get a  
torque wrench in there...the bolts that hold the flange to the head 
(7ft/lbs!)....good luck...Tom
