Default Cam gasket?

Hey all,

What in the heck is a cam gasket? I just got done rebuilding my engine and I still have no idea what this could be. Is this just another way of referring to the front cover gasket?? Cure my ignorance, plz.

The cam plate has a rubber seal on the back of it to keep the oil gallery around the lifters sealed. Not sure if that is what was meant.

This is an option you can get with the TR cam package. When I looked at it, I thought, "WTF? I just rebuilt my engine. How could I not know what this is?!" I guess they just call it something strange. I'm thinking vettenuts is right.
