I didnt really notice a gasket in there either. but the new o-ring definately fixed my oil pressure issues. I would recommend to anyone installing a cam to get a new one. the new gm ones are thicker than the stock one that was in there. My stock o-ring was in perfect shape no scratches or anything but it still didnt give me good oil pressure.
