Gasket set/kit, oil pressure sending unit washers, how many are included if any?
With my pressure sending unit (the one back by the thermostat and crankcase breather cover), I have two washers. One is copper, and the other is silver colored. (both go one the unit when operating)
I have these same washers in the large gasket kit I have. The kit has two copper washers and two silvers. Are these copper "in the kit" ones used any place else besides the pressure sender? I do not want to use a washer that will be needed elsewhere later. Thanks

There's a variety of them in the kits. Basically, if it fits, then use it. You can always buy another one for $.50 if you need it.
The pressure sender unit should use one washer between the adapter and the case. The sending unit itself should be installed like a pipe fitting. I usually put a light wrap of Teflon tape in there, making sure not to have any excess get into the main oil area... -Wayne
