Thank you, yes that is the gasket with extra pieces. These two holes are both in the rear by the oil pump, sort of. They are right on the gasket sealing surface. They have either a piece of the old gasket or a plug or something in them. I need to know for sure before I continue. Nothing in the X-6023 manual I have. Hope someone chimes in soon. Look in the back in your pic, where the oil pick up tube meets screen cup, it's about where that white stick-up is. Maybe when I get the gasket on Monday, I will realize what those two round things are. I'm going to guess they are manufacturing holes or something for V12. The gasket seems to go right over them with no corresponding hole? Old gasket broke all up and thrown away before I saw the holes so can't examine.
