1999 W210 - AMG E55 - Euro Spec.
Question OM606 Experts - I need you! :)

I've bought another Om606 powered W210 and it's been awhile since I was elbows deep in this particular engine and I have questions. Since I'd only like to reassemble this once, I need help identifying a couple of gaskets that came in the VR head gasket kit.

The rubber O-ring in the photo, I'm all but certain seals the metal coolant return at the rear, left side of the block (as you sit in the drivers seat). The aluminum seal however, I cannot find...

Anyone know where it goes?

I don't recall removing the aluminum seal during disassembly and I have yet to see a gasket manufacturer tell you what all you're getting.

This could be

The metal washer could be for your timing chain tensioner or one of the banjo fittings on your injection pump or fuel lines.

Another possibility

It also may be the oil drain plug washer.
