    I decided to replace the head gasket on my 2013 toyota prius cause it was either pay $5000 to get it done or do it my self so i decided to do it my self. Everything was going well till i couldn't figure out where this seal washer goes. it came with the timing gasket set i got at auto zone. does anyone have any idea where it goes?

    It's possible that may not go anywhere just keep that in mind It's not unheard of I have the whole timing cover apart laying here on the table than one of the shops I'll looking a little bit and see if I can tell right off but if you can't tell with the stuff you took off your engine and timing cover and then I wouldn't let it bother me too much.
