Front case gasket

[NOSLO2PT0]

I thought I had a 7 bolt gasket since the previous owner supplied one when I bought the car. OEM Mitsu packaging/label indicated it was for a 7 bolt. However, a lot of the oil passage holes didn’t line up.

Ordered a Victor Seinz front case gasket kit from Oreilly’s ( came with gasket, seals, and pickup tube gasket). The oil passage holes line up ok, but the channels seem to be missing. Is this ok? Been forever since I installed one of these.

Do those line up ok on the block Mike?

I’d go with oem (especially on the hard to get to gaskets) since you don’t want to be pulling the front case if it starts to leak.

No idea, Marty. I’m down in TN rest of the week visiting my dad and fishing. I’ll confirm when I get back in town next week.

If you are out of town, I would order up an OEM from JNZ. Josh will have it to you before you get home, and Mike, I agree with Tony on this particular gasket. I like OEM over FelPro or VH for that one..
I didn't use this "test" pump for a 6 bolt but you had my interest peaked so I went and put the gasket on it. Mine looks like yours so that gasket is probably the correct one but I do prefer OEM for the front case.
Here's a picture.
