RX8 Front cover mod for 13B and 13BT

I notice that it goes across the pesky o-ring area.

Does the gasket take the place of the oring there? Or does it just take the place of the oring "holder" and still requires the oring to be installed?

The front cover-to-housing o-ring and nylon washer? Yes, you still need both of those. The gasket goes on AFTER you install the new ring/washer.
