Where do all these gaskets go?

I'm getting ready to do my first motor swap. Well it's not a full block its just a short block. So I ordered a full gasket set and am unsure as to where they all go. I figured out the upper ones easily cause I've done a head rebuild before. Here's a pic of the lower ones that I couldn't identify for sure. The lower 2 right ones I think are water pump.

There's a handful of crush washers that I don't know about and one of them is round not flat. Also the o-rings have me really stumped. I haven't taken the motor apart yet but I'm trying to get things in order before it arrives. And like I said I'm doing a rebuild just putting in a short block so I assume I won't need all of these. Any pointers are appreciated. :talon:

The one in the middle on the left is for the oil filter housing. The round orange one looks like an front main seal. I think the crazy looking one down in the lower left is for the aluminum piece that holds the rear seal but you'll want to look into it more. As far as the copper crush washers and the rubber o rings, those are going to be for things like fuel lines, oil and coolat lines for the turbo, probably water pipe seal(s), and possibly even some seals for inside the front case/oil pump. Hope this helps you out a little.

Yes it does thanks. I was just looking at my new oil pump and the 3 black round ones in the middle are included as part of that so I can knock those off the list now too.
